Ja Morant Latest News
Officially out Friday
Morant (foot) will not play Friday against the Spurs. After originally carrying a questionable tag, Morant was later downgraded to doubtful during warmups. The Grizzlies ultimately decided to err on the side of caution, as coach Taylor Jenkins mentioned that Morant has been playing through this foot sprain for the past two games. Luke Kennard and Scotty Pippen are candidates for increased roles Friday.
Unlikely to play
Morant (foot) is unlikely to play Friday against the Spurs, Drew Hill of The Daily Memphian reports. Morant is still listed as questionable to play, but coach Taylor Jenkins didn't sound optimistic about his chances of suiting up. According to Jenkins, Morant has been playing through this sprain for a couple games. Assuming Morant is out, guys like Scotty Pippen and Luke Kennard could see increased run.
Present at shootaround
Morant (foot) was present at shootaround ahead of Friday's game versus the Spurs, Michael Wallace of the Grizzlies' official site reports. Morant is officially listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Spurs due to right foot soreness. However, Morant's participation in shootaround is a good sign of his availability against San Antonio.
Questionable for Friday
Morant is questionable for Friday's game versus the Spurs with right foot soreness. This sounds like a day-to-day issue for Morant, but fantasy managers will likely need to wait until the morning shootaround before more information is known. If Morant is unable to play, the Grizzlies could turn to Scotty Pippen and Luke Kennard to soak up some of the point guard minutes. Morant was excellent in his most recent outing versus the Spurs on Wednesday, with 21 points, 12 assists, four rebounds and two steals.
Drops 29 on Rockets
Morant finished with a team-high 29 points (11-24 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 3-6 FT), three rebounds, four assists and four steals over 37 minutes during Monday's 120-118 loss to Houston. It was his best scoring effort since Dec. 7, when Morant erupted for 32 and nearly recorded a triple-double in Boston, while Monday's four steals were a new season high. In three games since returning from a shoulder issue, Morant has had two strong performances and one mediocre one, averaging 22.7 points, 3.7 boards, 3.7 assists, 2.0 steals and 1.7 threes while shooting 38.5 percent from the floor and 25.0 percent (5-for-20) from beyond the arc as he tries to regain his shooting stroke.
Available Monday
Morant (illness) has been cleared to play Monday against the Rockets. Morant was tagged as questionable leading up to tipoff due to an illness, but it won't keep him from Monday's action. He's averaging 20.4 points, 3.6 rebounds and 5.4 assists over his last five appearances.
Iffy due to illness
Morant (illness) is questionable for Monday's game versus Houston, Michael Wallace of the Grizzlies' official site reports. Morant was a very late addition to the injury report which doesn't bode well for his status against the Rockets. He's coming off a tough game against the Timberwolves with 12 points in 30 minutes, but he hit the game-winning shot. If Morant is unable to play Monday, Scotty Pippen and Luke Kennard could be more involved for the Grizzlies.
Sinks game-winning shot
Morant logged 12 points (5-19 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one steal over 30 minutes during Saturday's 127-125 victory over the Timberwolves. Morant had a rough outing from an efficiency perspective, as he made only five of his 19 shots overall. However, and as has happened plenty of times in the past, the star floor general came through when Memphis needed him the most, as he sunk what ended up being the game-winning shot with a floater from a tight angle. This was the first time he failed to reach the 15-point mark since Dec. 19.
Scores 27 in return
Morant (shoulder) tallied 27 points (9-22 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 8-11 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one steal across 29 minutes in Thursday's 119-115 loss to the Rockets. After suffering a Grade 1 AC joint sprain in his right shoulder during a Dec. 27 win over the Pelicans, Morant proceeded to miss five straight games before making his return Thursday. The Grizzlies eased Morant back into some degree by keeping him under 30 minutes in a close loss, but the point guard didn't seem to be inhibited by the injury, as he took on a massive 43.3 percent usage rate and matched or surpassed season highs in both field-goal and free-throw attempts. Assuming Morant came out of Thursday's game with no setbacks, fantasy managers who had been stashing him in an injured reserve slot can feel comfortable activating him ahead of Saturday's game at Minnesota.
