Norris Cole (ankle) is expected to play in Tuesday's game against the Grizzlies

Cole (ankle) is expected to play in Tuesday's game against the Grizzlies.

Analysis:

Cole joins Tyreke Evans in returning to the court, both of which mark their season debuts. Cole is likely set to receive limited minutes until he gets his legs under him after missing so much time, so that's something to keep in mind right off the bat. Coach Alvin Gentry also said that Cole will not be restricted during back-to-back games, so that shouldn't be an issue moving forward. With Ish Smith playing so well off the bench, Cole's role remains up in the air for now off, but we should see it come to shape over the next week or two.
