Injury Report: Oklahoma City Thunder vs Memphis Grizzlies /

The Memphis Grizzlies have one of the biggest challenges of the season against the Oklahoma City Thunder tonight. The Grizzlies are decimated by injuries, but the Thunder aren't so much.

The Grizzlies have seven players listed on their injury report: Steven Adams, Bismack Biyombo, Brandon Clarke, Luke Kennard, Ja Morant, Derrick Rose, and Marcus Smart. Steven Adams is out due to right knee PCL surgery, Bismack Biyombo is doubtful due to back soreness, Brandon Clarke is out due to left Achilles tendon repair, Luke Kennard is out due to a left knee bone bruise, Ja Morant is out due to a league suspension, Derrick Rose is out due to a left hamstring strain, and Marcus Smart is out due to a left foot sprain.

The Oklahoma City Thunder only have one player listed on their injury report - Keyontae Johnson. Not only that, but Johnson isn't actually injured but is just out due to a G League two-way. Essentially, the Oklahoma City Thunder have a completely healthy roster against the Grizzlies tonight.

Simply put, tonight's game is going to be incredibly difficult for the Memphis Grizzlies. They're missing both starting and backup point guards, shooting guards, and potentially centers. If they find a way to defeat the Oklahoma City Thunder, it should definitely be considered one of the biggest upsets of the season.

The Memphis Grizzlies and Oklahoma City Thunder face off tonight at 8:00 p.m. EST.
