Grizzlies' Ja Morant: Officially questionable for Friday
Morant (ankle) is questionable for Friday's Play-In Game against the Mavericks.
Morant didn't practice Thursday and is expected to be a game-time decision Friday due to a sprained right ankle. The star point guard sustained the ankle injury in the third quarter of Tuesday's Play-In Game loss to the Warriors, though he finished the game and posted 22 points (9-18 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one steal in 35 minutes. The 25-year-old is still dealing with swelling in his ankle, but he's optimistic about suiting up, per Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com. If Morant is sidelined against Dallas, Luke Kennard will likely see an uptick in playing time.

Grizzlies' Ja Morant: Doesn't practice Thursday
Morant (ankle) will be a game-time decision for the Grizzlies' Play-In Game on Friday against the Mavericks, Drew Hill of The Daily Memphian reports.
Morant rolled his right ankle in Tuesday's loss to the Warriors. Although he was able to return to the game, the superstar is in danger of missing Friday's win-or-go-home Play-In Game in Memphis. If the Murray State product is ruled out, the Grizzlies will likely turn to Scotty Pippen to shoulder the load at the point guard position.

Grizzlies' Ja Morant: Toughs it out through ankle injury
Morant finished Tuesday's 121-116 Play-In Game loss to the Warriors with 22 points (9-18 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one steal in 35 minutes.
Morant tweaked his right ankle with 4:23 remaining in the third quarter of Tuesday's contest but was able to return with 9:26 left in the fourth quarter and finish out the game. However, the star guard's ankle clearly still bothered him, and he mostly deferred to Desmond Bane down the stretch. It wouldn't be surprising for Morant to show up on Memphis' injury report for Friday's Play-In Game.

Grizzlies' Ja Morant: Ready for Tuesday's Play-In Game
Morant (shoulder) is off the injury report for Tuesday's Play-In Game against the Warriors.
After sitting out Sunday's regular-season finale against the Mavericks, Morant is all set to return to the lineup for Tuesday's pivotal matchup with Golden State. The star guard closed the regular season on quite a roll, having averaged 30.3 points, 7.0 assists, 4.3 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 2.7 three-pointers 33.4 minutes over his last 12 appearances.

Grizzlies' Ja Morant: Won't play vs. Dallas
Morant (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Mavericks.
As expected, Morant and most of Memphis' regulars won't play in the regular-season finale after being downgraded from doubtful to out. The superstar point guard should be back in action during the Play-In Tournament, though the Grizzlies' opponent is to be determined.

Grizzlies' Ja Morant: Doubtful to play Sunday
Morant is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Mavericks due to right shoulder soreness.
Morant has been on fire in recent games with averages of 32.5 points, 5.8 assists and 3.5 rebounds per game since the beginning of April. The doubtful tag suggests the star floor general might not suit up, which makes sense considering the Grizzlies have already locked up a spot in the Play-In Tournament. If he ends up being ruled out, Cam Spencer, John Konchar and Vince Williams could see more time in the backcourt, as other players such as Desmond Bane (groin) and Scotty Pippen (back) are also carrying doubtful tags.

Grizzlies' Ja Morant: Goes for 36 points in loss
Morant chipped in 36 points (13-27 FG, 5-13 3Pt, 5-7 FT), one rebound, six assists and one steal over 36 minutes during Thursday's 141-125 loss to Minnesota.
Morant is ending the regular season on a sizzling note, and he's reached the 30-point mark in three of his last four appearances. The star floor general seems to have benefited from the head coaching change with an even bigger role on offense. Morant has averaged 32.5 points, 5.8 assists and 3.5 rebounds per game since the beginning of April while shooting 52.2 percent from the floor and 44.7 percent from three-point range.

Grizzlies' Ja Morant: Paces Memphis in win
Morant had 28 points (10-21 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight assists, five rebounds and one block over 27 minutes during Tuesday's 124-100 victory over the Hornets.
Morant led the Grizzlies with game-high marks in points and assists Tuesday. The star point guard has scored at least 20 points in each of his last 15 appearances, and he has racked up 34 such games over 48 regular-season matchups. Over his last five outings, Morant has averaged 28.4 points, 6.4 assists and 5.4 rebounds across 31.6 minutes per game.

Grizzlies' Ja Morant: Off report for Tuesday
Morant (illness) isn't listed on the Grizzlies' injury report for Tuesday's game against the Hornets.
Morant missed Saturday's win over the Pistons due to the illness, though he'll return to game action against Charlotte. The star point guard has averaged 31.6 points, 6.2 assists, 6.0 rebounds and 1.4 steals across 33.0 minutes per game over his last five outings.

Grizzlies' Ja Morant: Not playing Saturday
Morant (illness) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Pistons.
Morant fell ill at some point after scoring 30 points -- including the game-winning bucket -- in Thursday's 110-108 victory over Miami. He'll be sidelined for the middle game of the Grizzlies' three-game road trip but could be ready to return to action Thursday in Charlotte. His absence Saturday should allow Scotty Pippen and Luke Kennard to handle more minutes at point guard.

Grizzlies' Ja Morant: Downgraded to questionable
Morant has been downgraded to questionable ahead of Saturday's game against the Pistons due to an illness.
Morant was announced as a starter, but he was downgraded to questionable only a few minutes later due to an illness. If he ends up being ruled out, Scotty Pippen and Luke Kennard would be candidates to start over the star floor general.

Grizzlies' Ja Morant: Reaches 30-point mark again
Morant produced 30 points (11-22 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal over 32 minutes during Thursday's 110-108 victory over the Heat.
Morant is enjoying an uptick in his usage rate since the head coaching change, and that has been reflected in his scoring numbers, as he's posted back-to-back 30-point performances in his last two games. To put things into context, this was the first time Morant recorded back-to-back outings with at least 30 points since March 7 and March 9. Injuries have limited Morant's availability all season long, but he's been playing at a high level when on the floor. He's averaging 27.5 points, 4.0 rebounds and 7.1 assists per game in his 15 appearances since the All-Star break.

Grizzlies' Ja Morant: Posts 36 points in loss
Morant closed with 36 points (14-22 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, six assists and two steals in 33 minutes during Tuesday's 134-125 loss to the Warriors.
Morant couldn't lift the Grizzlies to victory Tuesday despite doing everything in his power to get the job done. The star floor general posted his second-best scoring output of the season, trailing the 44-point outburst he had against the Cavaliers in mid-March. Availability has been an issue for Morant all season long, but there's no question he's been excellent when healthy. Morant is averaging 27.3 points, 7.4 assists, 3.9 rebounds and 1.2 steals per game since the All-Star break.

Grizzlies' Ja Morant: Headed to locker room
Morant was grabbing at his jaw and headed to the locker room with 7:57 remaining in the third quarter of Tuesday's game versus the Warriors, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.
Morant tallied 27 points (10-14 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three assists and two rebounds in 20 minutes before exiting Tuesday's contest. If the star guard is unable to return, Luke Kennard and Scotty Pippen are candidates to receive increased playing time.

Grizzlies' Ja Morant: Checks back into game
Morant (jaw) returned to Tuesday's game versus the Warriors with 2:59 remaining in the third quarter.
Morant ultimately missed around five minutes of game time due to an apparent jaw injury. However, the star guard appears set to play out the remainder of Tuesday's contest.
