On Friday, head coach Taylor Jenkins said that the former Murray State star would likely be a game-time decision. 

Via ESPN's Ramona Shelburne on Friday: "Jenkins said Morant went through a non-contact practice and individual workout that included dribbling & shooting… “it’s just catching the ball he’s having to navigate.” Grizz will make a decision at game time but Jenkins said Morant’s hand is a lot better than 2 days ago."
