Is Ja Morant playing tonight vs Indiana Pacers? Memphis Grizzlies release back injury report for their MVP candidate

Ja Morant is questionable for the Memphis Grizzlies’ upcoming match against the Indiana Pacers on Tuesday.

The Memphis Grizzlies will play the Indiana Pacers in Indianapolis on Tuesday evening, but they will be without their best player.

This season, the Memphis Grizzlies have been playing out of their minds, exceeding all expectations along the way. The team is performing so well that they have a slim chance of breaking the long-standing franchise record for most wins in a single season.

Last month, Morant played (and started) in his first career All-Star Game, and he has led the Grizzlies to a fantastic season.

They are the Western Conference’s second seed, with a 47-22 record in 69 games played, and are currently on a three-game winning streak.

Morant is averaging 27.5 points per game, 5.8 rebounds, and 6.7 assists.

All-Star point guard, Ja Morant is listed as doubtful due to a back injury, and his status for the game is doubtful.

Morant finished Sunday’s game against the Thunder with 17 points (7-14 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 10 assists, and five rebounds in 33 minutes, but he also presumably suffered a back injury.

Morant has been dealing with back issues this season and is unlikely to play on Tuesday.

With Morant unlikely to suit up, expect Tyus Jones and Desmond Bane to take on larger roles in the offense.
