FINAL UPDATE: Ja Morant has been ruled out.              

On Sunday evening, the Memphis Grizzlies are hosting the Toronto Raptors in Tennessee.  

However, they could be without their best player for the contest, as Ja Morant has been listed as questionable due to a wrist injury.   

Underdog NBA: "Ja Morant (wrist) questionable for Sunday."

The All-Star point guard is in the middle of a tremendous season with averages of 27.3 points, 5.8 rebounds, 8.3 assists and 1.0 steals per contest in 44 games (he is also shooting 46.5% from the field).  

Last season, Morant made his first All-Star Game and took the Grizzlies to the second round of the NBA Playoffs.

He has picked up right where he left off and will be headed to his second All-Star Game later this month, and the Grizzlies are the second seed in the Western Conference.

They are 32-20 in 52 games and have gone an outstanding 21-4 in 25 games on their home floor.

That said, the Grizzlies are in a slump and have gone just 3-7 in their last ten games (and they are in the middle of a two-game losing streak).

As for the Raptors, they are the 12th seed in the Eastern Conference with a 24-30 record in 54 games.

They are 4-6 in their last ten games and 9-18 in the 27 games they have played on the road away from Canada.

In December, the Grizzlies beat the Raptors 119-106 (in Canada).

Morant had 19 points, four rebounds and 17 assists in 36 minutes of playing time.
