Ja Morant injury status vs. Kings

The initial injury report had Morant listed as questionable to play against the Kings, but he was eventually ruled out for the contest. The All-Star point guard isstill experiencing some soreness in his left ankle.

It is worth noting that Memphis is on the second night of a back-to-back set, and this is likely a key factor for the team in the decision to sit out Morant. With that said, it's not a complete shock that the Grizzlies opted to give their star a night off, given how he's been averaging 32.2 minutes per game this season.

Steven Adams also popped up on the injury report as questionable with a sore right knee, and he was also ruled out. Meanwhile Danny Green remains out as he recovers from left knee surgery.

The Grizzlies are currently second in the West behind the Denver Nuggets as Memphis stares at a 1.5-game deficit behind Nikola Jokic and Co. There's still a long way to go this season, though, and the Grizzlies are likely looking out for the long-term health of their cornerstone superstar. As such, we finally have an official answer to the question Is Ja Morant playing tonight vs. the Kings.
