Updated Injury Report: Grizzlies vs. Magic
The Memphis Grizzlies are set to host the Orlando Magic on Tuesday night, but they will likely be without star point guard Ja Morant. Morant is dealing with right thigh soreness that has him listed as doubtful on the injury report for this game.
In addition to Morant's doubtful status, the Grizzlies will be without Steven Adams, Brandon Clarke, Vince Williams Jr., and Ziaire Williams. Jake LaRavia is being listed as available for Memphis. For Orlando, their injury report is very short, with Kevon Harris and Jonathan Isaac being the only two names listed as out.
The Memphis Grizzlies are the hottest team in basketball right now, as they currently have an NBA-best six-game winning streak. They have also won nine of their last 10 games, several of which came without Ja Morant. If Morant is indeed forced to miss this game, the Grizzlies know they can win without him, especially against one of the bottom teams in the Eastern Conference.
While the Magic have not been a great team this season, they have been playing much better as of late. Winners of their last three games, the Magic seem to be trending in the right direction. While it will likely not be enough to make the play-in tournament, this is the type of trajectory young teams like to experience as they transition from a rebuild into a competitive team. The Grizzlies will have to be ready for the Magic, especially if Morant is out.
