Jaren Jackson Jr and Justise Winslow are expected to return within a week, the Memphis Grizzlies said on Tuesday.
First-round pick Brandon Clarke isn't on the same schedule but is "progressing well in his recovery and is expected to return this season" from a right quadriceps strain.
Memphis are chasing the eighth playoff spot in the Western Conference behind Rookie of the Year frontrunner Ja Morant, the No 2 pick in the 2019 NBA Draft.
Jackson is dealing with a sore left knee and Winslow is battling a strained back.
Jackson is averaging 16.9 points and 4.7 rebounds per game.
Winslow, acquired from the Miami Heat at the February trade deadline, was assigned to the G League's Memphis Hustle for Monday's practice and will join the active roster for the first time.
Clarke is averaging 12.0 points and 5.8 rebounds per game as a rookie.
