5 years agoMemphis Grizzlies power forward/center Gorgui Dieng excelled during his team-high 26 minutes as a reserve during Monday’s win over the Atlanta Hawks, finishing with 17 points and 10 rebounds, marking his third double-double since joining the Grizzlies. He continues to struggle from long range (0-for-11 over his last four games), but as Memphis wears thin in the frontcourt without Jaren Jackson Jr. (knee) and Brandon Clarke (quad) available, Dieng could continue to see an expanded role for at least the next week. While his performance has fluctuated wildly, he has shown a propensity for racking up numbers in bunches once he gets rolling.--Jesse Borek
