Memphis Grizzlies reveal Isaiah Stewart's playing status vs Nuggets

Memphis Grizzlies center Isaiah Stewart is making his return against the Denver Nuggets , the team announced on Nov. 11. Stewart left a Nov. 4 game against the Indiana Pacers due to a right knee bone bruise. He missed the previous two games with the injury. Getting Stewart back should be a considerable boost for Memphis. Starting center Zach Edey continues to have his minutes monitored, and reserve big man Quinten Post is out while being in the concussion protocol. Stewart is averaging 11.9 points and shooting 57.1% on 3-pointers in seven games this season. His energy and defensive intensity have been viewed as sparks for Memphis. The Grizzlies acquired Stewart in the offseason for three second-round picks from the Detroit Pistons . Damichael Cole is the Memphis Grizzlies beat writer for The Commercial Appeal.
