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,

Ja Morant is out for Grizzlies-Spurs on Friday night and this latest absence has huge implications for the end of the season.

SAN ANTONIO — Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant is unlikely to play against the San Antonio Spurs on Friday, Grizzlies coach Taylor Jenkins said. Morant, who is dealing with right foot soreness, was listed as questionable on Thursday's injury report ahead of a nationally televised contest against the Spurs.

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.

Memphis Grizzlies stars Ja Morant and Jaren Jackson Jr. are both in the mix for the NBA All-Star game in San Francisco next month.

The Memphis Grizzlies found a groove and looked explosive in their Wednesday night win over the San Antonio Spurs.

The Grizzlies beat the Spurs on Wednesday night at the Frost Bank Center, and they'll meet again on Friday night. San Antonio (19-20) will be looking for revenge after Wednesday's loss, while Memphis (26-15) is looking to finish off the four-game road trip with a win.

For the second time in as many games, the San Antonio Spurs will host the Memphis Grizzlies. The Spurs fell to the Ja Morant -led team on Wednesday, losing a 12-point halftime lead, 129-115. Victor Wembanyama only scored 13 points in that game but offered eight blocks and two steals, so another defensive masterclass could be expected.

Ja Morant was sidelined for the Memphis-San Antonio rematch on Friday night because of a sore right foot, and the Grizzlies guard became ineligible for the NBA’s postseason awards after missing his 18th game of the season.
