Is Ja Morant Playing Tonight vs Warriors? Grizzlies Star's Injury Report Proves Massively Encouraging ahead of Big Game

The Memphis Grizzlies have been one of the best teams in the NBA season, with the franchise only behind the Nuggets in the West. Their record at 31-16 is beyond impressive. And given how young the franchise is, a championship in the future almost seems guaranteed.

That being said, the franchise has slipped a tad bit, losing their last 3 games on the bounce. And in the most recent one of those, Ja Morant wasn’t even present.

Right before the game against the Kings, the Grizzlies star was confirmed to be unfit to play and would be sitting out.

As you can imagine, that wasn’t exactly good news.

Having lost games simultaneously, the Grizzlies need to right the ship before it’s too late.

So, the question of the day is, Will Ja Morant, be available to help that process along tonight?

Ja Morant’s injury update proves highly positive

As per reports, Ja Morant was forced to sit out the game against the Kings due to left ankle soreness.

The loss of a team’s star man can be quite stressful. Fortunately however, the Grizzlies won’t have to go through it any longer.

As per ESPN, Ja Morant is no longer on the team’s injury list. In simpler terms, there is very little chance the 23-year-old doesn’t feature against Stephen Curry and the Warriors tonight.

 

What is Ja Morant averaging this season?

After 39 games played, Ja Morant is averaging 27.2 points, 5.5 rebounds, 7.9 assists, 1 steal, and 0.3 blocks per game.

The man is also shooting at a rate of 46.4% from the field, 31.8% from deep, and 75% from the free throw line.
