Ja Morant is in real threat of missing the Memphis Grizzlies' rematch against the LA Lakers on Sunday. The high-flying athletic point guard led the Grizzlies' charge when they picked up a 128-121 defeat against the 128-121 defeat against the Lakers on Friday. After appearing in four back-to-back, the former Murray State standout has suffered a right calf contusion.
Morant is placed as "questionable" on the lengthy injury report, which also consists of eight players. Availability has been a big problem for Grizzlies' poster boys this season. He has missed 16 of the team's 34 games, a prolonged absence that has made it tough for the franchise to secure continuity and consistency.
Morant just played 31 minutes in the last game against the Lakers and finished with a double-double. He amassed 16 points, grabbed three rebounds, dished out 11 assists and registered two steals, while shooting an inefficient 7 of 18 from the floor, consisting of 0 of 3 from deep.
Other than Morant, Grizzlies also placed Santi Aldama as questionable on the injury report. The 7-foot center, who played 30 minutes off the bench on Sunday, is dealing with right ankle soreness.
