Top Ja Morant News

  • Grizzlies' Ja Morant: Ruled out against LAC

    Morant (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Clippers, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.

    Morant will not get back on the basketball floor for the Grizzlies until after the NBA All-Star break. The superstar guard won't play Wednesday in Los Angeles, which paves the way for more time for Luke Kennard and Scotty Pippen in the backcourt for Memphis.

  • Grizzlies' Ja Morant: Questionable with knee soreness

    Morant (knee) has been listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Clippers.

    After helping lead the Grizzlies to a win Tuesday over the Suns with 26 points, seven rebounds, six assists and one steal, Morant could be on the shelf Wednesday for Memphis against the Clippers. The superstar guard is dealing with left knee soreness. If unable to play against Los Angeles, the Grizzlies could turn to Luke Kennard and Scotty Pippen to shoulder the load in the backcourt.

  • Grizzlies' Ja Morant: Drops 26 points in victory

    Morant chipped in 26 points (8-19 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 10-12 FT), seven rebounds, six assists and one steal across 33 minutes during Tuesday's 119-112 win over the Suns.

    The Grizzlies are 3-1 since Morant returned to the lineup following a two-game absence, and the team looks at its best when Morant and Desmond Bane are healthy enough to complete the backcourt. The team has won eight of their last 10 games and are set up well for a playoff run if Morant can stay healthy.

  • Grizzlies' Ja Morant: Scores 25 points in return

    Morant closed with 25 points (9-18 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, 11 assists and three steals over 29 minutes during Monday's 128-109 win over the Spurs.

    Morant returned after a two-game absence as a result of an ongoing shoulder injury, scoring 25 points. It's been a very stop-start season for Morant, with his longest stretch of consecutive games currently sitting at five. When healthy, his production has also been somewhat underwhelming, as he is averaging 20.5 points, 7.6 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.6 three-pointers in 28.5 minutes per game. The Grizzlies continue to win basketball games with or without Morant, so there is a chance they will continue to manage him with a goal of having him healthy for the playoffs.

  • Grizzlies' Ja Morant: Will return Monday

    Morant (shoulder) is available for Monday's game against the Spurs.

    Morant will return from a two-game absence Monday due to right shoulder soreness. The superstar has appeared in five of the Grizzlies' last nine outings, during which he has averaged 15.4 points, 8.2 assists, 3.6 rebounds and 1.4 steals across 29.2 minutes per contest.

  • Grizzlies' Ja Morant: Could return Monday

    Morant (shoulder) is questionable for Monday's matchup against the Spurs.

    Right shoulder soreness has forced the Grizzlies' point guard to miss the past two games, but he could return Monday. Either way, Desmond Bane (ankle) will not play, so Memphis will be shorthanded in the backcourt. Players like Luke Kennard and Scotty Pippen should continue seeing increased roles as a result.

  • Grizzlies' Ja Morant: Out Sunday

    Morant (shoulder) is out for Sunday's game against the Bucks.

    Morant will miss a second consecutive game due to right shoulder soreness. Scotty Pippen and Luke Kennard figure to see increased roles again in Morant's absence. The star guard will have another chance to suit up Monday against the Spurs.

  • Grizzlies' Ja Morant: Doubtful against Milwaukee

    Morant (shoulder) has been listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Bucks, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.

    Morant (shoulder) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Rockets.

    Morant (shoulder) is "trending toward" not playing in Thursday's game against the Rockets, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.

  • Grizzlies' Ja Morant: Doubtful against Houston

    Morant (shoulder) has been listed as doubtful for Thursday's game against the Rockets.

    Morant has been in and out of the Grizzlies' lineup all season while nursing injuries. The superstar guard is trending toward missing another game for Memphis and is listed as doubtful for Friday's matchup against the Rockets. If he doesn't play, the Grizzlies will likely turn to Scotty Pippen as a potential starter, with Luke Kennard getting some more time off the bench.

  • Grizzlies' Ja Morant: Iffy against Houston

    Morant is listed as questionable for Thursday's game versus the Rockets due to right shoulder soreness.

    Morant has been plagued with injuries this season, already missing 19 of Memphis' 47 outings. If the star guard is forced to sit out again Thursday, Scotty Pippen and Luke Kennard are candidates to receive increased playing time.

  • Grizzlies' Ja Morant: Quiet in blowout loss

    Morant provided 10 points (5-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt), five rebounds and two assists across 27 minutes during Monday's 143-106 loss to the Knicks.

    Playing in his second game back since returning from an illness, Morant again struggled to get anything going offensively. He's in the midst of a slump, hitting 40.4 percent from the field over his last four games with averages of 14.0 points, 7.3 assists, 3.5 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 1.0 three-pointers in 28.7 minutes per contest.

  • Grizzlies' Ja Morant: Limited impact in Saturday's win

    Morant recorded 11 points (4-9 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound, seven assists and one steal in 26 minutes during Saturday's 125-103 victory over Utah.

    Morant was clearly not 100 percent healthy in this game, but he found a way to make an impact while logging a limited workload -- at least for his standards. There's no doubting Morant's status as the Grizzlies' go-to option on offense, but his numbers have been trending in the wrong direction of late. He's now failed to reach the 20-point mark in his last three appearances, averaging 15.3 points per game and shooting 41.2 percent from the floor in that stretch.

  • Grizzlies' Ja Morant: Will play Saturday vs. Utah

    Morant (illness) is available for Saturday's game against the Jazz.

    Morant was unable to play Friday against the Pelicans due to an illness, but he appears to no longer be under the weather and will play Saturday. Over his last six outings, Morant has averaged 20.7 points, 7.2 assists, 4.0 rebounds and 2.0 steals over 31.5 minutes per game.

  • Grizzlies' Ja Morant: Expected to play Saturday

    Morant (illness) is listed as probable for Saturday's game versus the Jazz.

    Morant is expected to play Saturday after missing Memphis' previous contest due to an illness. The star guard will likely reclaim his starting spot from Luke Kennard if he's upgraded to available.

  • Grizzlies' Ja Morant: Ruled out Friday

    Morant (illness) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Pelicans, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.

    After recording a double-double in Wednesday's win over the Hornets, Morant will not play in Friday's game against New Orleans. The superstar guard has been in and out of the lineup all season long for Memphis, which has led to the team leaning on Scotty Pippen and Luke Kennard to shoulder the load in the backcourt.

  • Grizzlies' Ja Morant: Absent from shootaround

    Morant (illness), who is questionable for Friday's game against New Orleans, was absent from Friday's morning shootaround, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.

    Morant's absence from shootaround bodes poorly for his status while he deals with an illness. If the superstar is sidelined, Scotty Pippen and Luke Kennard should receive an uptick in playing time.

  • Grizzlies' Ja Morant: Iffy against New Orleans

    Morant is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Pelicans due to an illness.

    Morant contracted an illness overnight and is now in danger of missing Friday's contest. If the star guard is ultimately ruled out, Scotty Pippen and Luke Kennard are candidates to receive increased playing time in his absence.
