Caldwell-Pope is not starting against the Cavaliers on Saturday, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.

The Grizzlies have decided to shake things up in their starting lineup, and Caldwell-Pope will head to the bench, as Jaylen Wells and Cedric Coward (foot) will start on the wings alongside Ja Morant, Jaren Jackson and Zach Edey. Caldwell-Pope is averaging 8.1 points per game while shooting a career-worst 29.8 percent from three-point range this season.
