The Memphis Grizzlies' injury report has hit a new level. Per HoopsHype, nearly 91% of the Grizzlies' payroll is currently sidelined — and the highest-paid player available right now is Walter Clayton Jr., who ranks ninth on the team's salary cap spending.

Sunday's injury report still lists Santi Aldama (knee) and Taj Gibson (conditioning) as out, with Ty Jerome, Scotty Pippen Jr., Taylor Hendricks, and Cedric Coward all carrying uncertain statuses.

Clayton Jr. has stepped up, but relying on a player on a rookie deal to lead is about where this roster stands right now amid a lost season. 

How much longer can the Grizzlies sustain this before the losses start piling up beyond repair? What are you looking for when watching games while Memphis navigates this situation?
