    Ja Morant Could Miss Monday's Game

    Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (thigh) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. The superstar guard sat out of Sunday's game due to right thigh soreness. It really wouldn't be shocking to see the Grizzlies play it safe and have Morant sit out both games of the back-to-back set. Tyus Jones would be in line for another start if Morant sits out. He'll be a popular DFS option and streaming choice if given another start on Monday.

    Ja Morant Out With Thigh Soreness Sunday

    Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant (thigh) will not play Sunday against the Utah Jazz. Morant was questionable with soreness in his thigh before being ruled out. The injury is not considered to be serious and is likely more of a night off for the young star. Tyus Jones will pick up a spot start and is averaging 20.6 points and 8.4 assists as a starter this season. Jones should be a popular target for DFS contests.

    Ja Morant Dealing With Thigh Soreness

    Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (thigh) is questionable for Sunday's meeting with the visiting Utah Jazz. The 23-year-old is dealing with a sore right thigh. However, considering he scored 32 points in 35 minutes against the Orlando Magic on Friday, it likely isn't anything serious. Of course, Tyus Jones would fill the void if Morant sits this one out. Jones has averaged 20.6 points and 8.4 assists in five appearances in the starting lineup this season, giving him a massive upside from a fantasy standpoint.

    Ja Morant Picks Up Questionable Tag For Monday’s Game

    Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant (thigh) has been deemed questionable to suit up for Monday's contest vs. Atlanta due to a sore right thigh. Morant is coming off a rough shooting performance Friday, when he went 6-for-20 overall and scored just 15 points, his second-lowest total of the season. An absence from Morant would vault Tyus Jones into the starting five and likely most DFS lineups, as Jones has averaged 20.3 points and 7.8 assists in his four games as a starter in 2022-23. Morant's combination of his ailment and the Hawks yielding the third-fewest DFS points per game to opposing point guards may keep him off many DFS radars, even if he is ultimately cleared to suit up.

    Ja Morant Doubtful For Monday

    Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (ankle) is considered doubtful for Monday's game against the Miami Heat. The 23-year-old was fantastic on Sunday, but apparently suffered a left ankle injury along the way. It wouldn't be surprising to see the Grizzlies take the cautious approach and rest Morant on Monday. That being said, Tyus Jones would move into the starting five and be a popular streaming option for Monday's slate. Fantasy managers should check the waiver wire and see if Jones is available.

    Ja Morant Upgraded To Questionable On Tuesday

    Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (ankle) was listed as doubtful earlier on Tuesday but has received an upgrade to questionable just a few hours away from tipoff. That's promising news even if he doesn't suit up for this game. It seems like he should be back either for Tuesday's game or their next one. If he remains sidelined, Tyus Jones should serve as a great streaming option while Dillon Brooks will continue to see more usage than normal.

    Ja Morant Week-To-Week With A Grade 1 Ankle Sprain

    Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant (ankle) is listed as week-to-week after being diagnosed with a Grade 1 left ankle sprain. The Memphis star was hurt in Friday's win over Oklahoma City, and his absence is set to leave the team in some trouble now, with Desmond Bane (toe) also having recently been ruled out for at least two weeks. Morant is a usage monster and a number of players should benefit from his absence. Tyus Jones is set to be the starting point guard, while the likes of John Konchar and Dillon Brooks should get more shots.

    Ja Morant Tweaks Ankle On Friday

    Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant had a double-double in Friday's win over the Oklahoma City Thunder, finishing with 19 points and 11 assists while adding seven rebounds. Unfortunately, Morant would exit this one late in the fourth quarter after rolling his left ankle, requiring assistance off the court. He will likely undergo further testing to determine the severity of the injury. However, things don't look promising, so there is a good chance he won't be available on Sunday in Brooklyn. If that's the case, Tyus Jones is expected to replace him in the lineup, with the 26-year-old averaging 20.0 points, 7.5 assists, 2.5 steals, and shooting 44.4% from deep in two starts this season.

    Ja Morant Removed From Injury Report

    Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (ankle) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Tuesday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. This is great news that Morant is able to get back on the court. He was forced to sit out on Sunday due to left ankle soreness, but it appears he's feeling better now. Tyus Jones is expected to head to the bench and will lose most of his streaming appeal with Morant returning on Tuesday.

    Ja Morant Doubtful On Sunday

    Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (ankle) is doubtful ahead of Sunday's meeting with the Wizards. Morant has a sore left ankle, so head coach Taylor Jenkins will likely play it safe and keep him out for this one. With Desmond Bane (toe) also unlikely to suit up, Dillon Brooks, Tyus Jones, and John Konchar should lead the way offensively. However, David Roddy and Brandon Clarke may also benefit immensely.

    Ja Morant Questionable For Monday Night

    Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (illness) is listed as questionable for Monday night's game against the Utah Jazz. The 23-year-old is suffering from a non-COVID illness that already kept him out of Saturday's game. Morant has enjoyed a great start to the season up until having to miss some time. If he does miss another game, Tyus Jones would be a must-play in all fantasy formats.

    Ja Morant Out Against Utah

    Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (illness) won't play on Saturday against the Jazz. Morant is dealing with a non-COVID-related illness, so his next chance at suiting up will happen on Monday for the rematch with Utah. In the meantime, Tyus Jones will take his place, with the 26-year-old averaging 10.8 points, 6.6 points, and 2.8 rebounds as a starter during his career.

    Ja Morant Scores Game-High 34 Points In Overtime Win

    Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant was up to his usual high-flying and acrobatic finishes on Wednesday night. In a short-handed game against a feisty New York Knicks team, Morant led the way with 34 points, nine assists and four rebounds. He hasn't skipped a beat from last season to this first game. He's going to be a top contributor in all fantasy formats for the foreseeable future. However, fantasy managers would probably like to see him limit the turnovers more often.
