Randolph (ankle) hopes to play Wednesday against the Nuggets after going through morning shootaround without incident, Rob Fischer of FOX Sports Southeast reports.

Analysis:

Randolph has missed the last two games with a strained right ankle, but he'll have a chance to return Wednesday as the Grizzlies look to snap a three-game skid. If Randolph does play, he could be limited, though given his reputation as one of the league's toughest players, he'd likely petition to play his usual starting role, resulting in JaMychal Green heading back to the bench. Randolph has missed nine games this month, adding to the Grizzlies' seemingly ever-mounting injury woes as the postseason approaches.
