The Memphis Grizzlies will take on the Oklahoma City Thunder tonight at the Paycom Center. The Thunder inflicted a resounding loss to the Thunder in game 1 of the playoffs, and considering how Oklahoma City have fared throughout the season, it will be a herculean task for the Memphis to script a return. It is difficult but not impossible though. To have any chance against the OCT, Ja Morant will have to bring forward his A game tonight. The point guard notched 17 points the other day, and a performance like that will nowhere be enough. Morant will garner special attention from the fans. However, it should be noted that he will not be able to have any say in the game if he does not feature tonight. So, let's take a look at the Memphis Grizzlies injury report to know whether Ja Morant will play tonight or not.
Ja Morant Injury Report
Ja Morant is not listed in the injury report released by the Grizzlies ahead of the game against the Thunder. Morant is a vital part of the Grizzlies squad and thus him being fit comes as a big boost to the team. He will certainly start tonight.
Ja Morant has been averaging 23.2 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 7.3 assists per game this season. He would have to deliver better than that tonight if the Grizzlies would have to get anywhere close.
