The Memphis Grizzlies will take on the Dallas Mavericks tonight at the FedExForum. The Grizzlies suffered a devastating loss against the Warriors the other day and thus would be yearning to return to the winning ways. The team's star guard Ja Morant will have to deliver an inspirational performance for that. Morant had a decent game against GSW, scoring 22 points, with 3 rebounds and as many assists. However, he could not take the team to the finish line. The 25-year-old will look to complete the unfinished business tonight. But to have any say in the game, he would have to play first. So, let's take a look at the Memphis Grizzlies injury report to know whether he will play tonight or not.

Ja Morant Injury Report
Ja Morant is listed in the injury report released by the Grizzlies ahead of the game against the Mavericks. He is marked as "Questionable" due to an ankle injury. Thus, he may or may not feature in the game tonight. However, since he was able to play for 35 minutes against the Warriors, he will likely be in the starting lineup of the Memphis team.
Ja Morant has been producing fair numbers for the Grizzlies. He has averaged 23.2 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 7.3 assists per game this season. Hence, his absence could prove to be huge factor in the game.
