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."

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.

Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant was added to the injury on Thursday evening ahead of Friday's matchup against the Spurs.

Star guard Ja Morant dunked on Spurs center Victor Wembanyama, but it came after the whistle had blown. Grizzlies center Zach Edey also had a dunk over Wembanyama that counted, but the 7-foot-3 Frenchman also had eight blocks.

When the Memphis Grizzlies take on the San Antonio Spurs on Friday night, Ja Morant won’t be out there. The star guard is out for this one due to right foot soreness, leaving the Grizzlies shorthanded as they look to grab their second straight win.
