Grizzlies head coach Taylor Jenkins gave an update on Morant's injury after they ruled him out of Friday's contest due to right foot soreness. "He's been nursing a foot sprain since the Houston home game," Jenkins said. "Last game against the Spurs, he got tangled up, had a little collision there with a Spurs player that really worsened it."
The Memphis Grizzlies are 26-15 despite star point guard Ja Morant playing just 24 games. Availability has been an issue for Morant at times in his NBA career,
Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant vowed last December to stop dunking in the name of self-preservation. After battling multiple injuries attributed to awkward landings and hard falls, Morant said that he was omitting dunks, a trademark part of his game.

Morant has had several injuries over the past two seasons, and hopefully, this doesn't become a regular thing for one of the young, budding stars in the league. It will be interesting to see what his availability looks like closer to game time.
Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant didn't care that he dunked on Victor Wembanyama after being asked about it postgame.

The final game before returning to Memphis for a four-game home stand, the recent injury report from the Grizzlies indicates they'll face Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs shorthanded. Memphis star guard Ja Morant is listed as out tonight against San Antonio,
The Memphis Grizzlies defeated the San Antonio Spurs on the road Friday night, 140-112, without Ja Morant, who sat out due to right foot soreness. He has played in 24 of the Grizzlies first 42 contests on the season.
The NBA's leader in pace steamrolled slumping San Antonio in the second half Friday to send it to its fifth loss in the last six games.
