Jemison (illness) recorded four points (2-3 FG) and five rebounds across 16 minutes Thursday in the Lakers' 118-89 loss to the Bucks.
After missing each of the Lakers' last four games while recovering from an illness, Jemison made his return to the rotation Thursday, stepping in as the backup to Jaxson Hayes. A two-way player, Jemison will be eligible to be active for just eight of the Lakers' remaining 13 contests, so he could be in store for some unannounced absences over the next few weeks. Even if he wasn't approaching his active games limit, Jemison likely would have been at risk of falling out of the rotation in the near future anyway with Rui Hachimura (knee) and LeBron James (groin) set to return from multi-game absences as soon as Saturday.

Rotowire
Jemison (illness) is out for Friday's game against the Raptors, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports.
Jemison was initially listed as questionable due to an illness, and in the end, the big man won't be able to suit up for this contest. His next chance to play will come against the Suns on Sunday, though given how packed the schedule has been for the Lakers in recent days, the rest could be beneficial for the big man.

Lakers' Trey Jemison: Iffy for Friday
Rotowire
Jemison is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Nuggets due to an illness, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.
As a two-way player, Jemison has received inconsistent playing time for the Lakers and is now in danger of missing Friday's contest due to an illness. However, with Jaxson Hayes (knee) out and Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) doubtful, Jemison could receive increased playing time against Denver if he's upgraded to available.

Lakers' Trey Jemison: Productive in limited action
Rotowire
Jemison recorded seven points (3-4 FG, 1-2 FT) and four rebounds over 13 minutes during Thursday's 113-109 overtime win over the Knicks.
Jemison made the most of his limited action Thursday, but his low workload makes him difficult to trust in fantasy. As long as Jaxson Hayes is the preferred option at center, minutes will be hard to come by for Jemison. In his last four appearances, Jemison has averaged just 17.7 minutes per contest with 4.8 points and 4.3 rebounds per game.

Lakers' Trey Jemison: Signing two-way deal with LA
Rotowire
The Lakers plan to sign Jemison to a two-way contract, NBA reporter Jake Fischer reports.
After waiving Quincy Olivari on Wednesday, Los Angeles has quickly set its sights on his replacement in their two-way spot. Jemison offers the Lakers depth behind Anthony Davis and Jaxson Hayes and played 10.4 minutes per game over 16 appearances with the Pelicans. Still, the 25-year-old big man would appear more likely to receive steady playing time in the G League than at the NBA level.

Grizzlies' Trey Jemison: Strong game in limited minutes
Rotowire
Jemison produced 10 points (5-6 FG), seven rebounds and one block across 19 minutes before fouling out of Monday's 106-102 victory over Brooklyn.
Jemison has started in his last three appearances for the Grizzlies, but it's also worth noting he hasn't played in four of the team's six games since the end of the All-Star break. The lack of an established role hurts his upside, though Jemison can be an effective two-way asset for the Grizzlies if given enough minutes. Until the minutes are there consistently, however, it's better to leave Jemison on the wire regardless of the format.

Grizzlies' Trey Jemison: Best performance yet for Memphis
Rotowire
Jemison totaled 12 points (6-10 FG), seven rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 32 minutes during Tuesday's 123-113 loss to the Knicks.
In his fifth career NBA game and second career start, Jemison set personal bests in points and boards. The 24-year-old center is getting his opportunity thanks to injuries to Brandon Clarke (Achilles), Jaren Jackson (hip) and Xavier Tillman (knee), but what value Jemison has as a DFS punt play will evaporate quickly once the Grizzlies' frontcourt gets healthier.

Grizzlies' Trey Jemison: Blocks two shots as starter
Rotowire
Jemison racked up six points (2-5 FG, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and two blocks over 23 minutes during Sunday's 131-91 loss to Boston.
With Jaren Jackson (hip), Xavier Tillman (knee), Santi Aldama (lower body) and other frontcourt members sidelined, Jemison drew his first career start. Aside from the two blocks, Jemison's production was modest, and he played the fewest minutes of the eight Grizzlies who saw action versus Boston. If the aforementioned trio of centers remains sidelined, Jemison may get another 10-day deal from Memphis, but he doesn't need to be on fantasy radars yet.

Grizzlies' Trey Jemison: Joins Grizzlies on 10-day deal
Rotowire
Jemison agreed to a 10-day contract with the Grizzlies on Tuesday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Jemison's 10-day contract with the Wizards just expired, and the Grizzlies moved quickly to bring him aboard to add some much-needed depth to the frontcourt. Before his brief stint in Washington, Jemison had spent this season in the G League with the Birmingham Squadron, with whom he averaged 10.9 points, 11.9 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.5 blocks in 31.6 minutes per game over 25 appearances.

Trey Jemison: Time up in Washington
Rotowire
Jemison's 10-day contract with the Wizards expired Tuesday, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.
Washington will have the option of bringing Jemison back on a second 10-day deal, but it's unclear if the team intends to keep its 15-man roster spot open for the undrafted rookie center. With Daniel Gafford and Marvin Bagley ahead of him in the pecking order at center, Jemison was limited to a pair of one-minute appearances over his week-and-a-half-long stay with Washington. If Jemison isn't re-signed, he'll likely head back to the G League's Birmingham Squadron, with whom he had been playing prior to catching on with the Wizards on the 10-day deal.

Jemison has spent the 2023-24 season with the G League's Birmingham Squadron up to this point, averaging 13.6 points, 12.3 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 30.3 minutes across nine appearances.
