He’s averaging 29 points, five rebounds, and seven assists a game so far. With him leading from the front, the Grizzlies are trying to replicate their last year’s regular season success.
As they host the Wizards tonight, fans wonder whether Ja will play or will he sit on the bench.
Is Ja Morant playing tonight?
The Memphis Grizzlies issued the team’s injury report last night. Ja Morant’s name has been left off the same.

This means Ja Morant will play tonight.
The Grizzlies would like to use this contest to improve their record and to try and make a quick game, so they can rest their stars for tail end of the back-to-back against the Celtics.
