Ja Morant News, Rumors, Updates - Memphis Grizzlies

Drops 29 on Rockets Morant finished with a team-high 29 points (11-24 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 3-6 FT), three rebounds, four assists and four steals over 37 minutes during Monday's 120-118 loss to Houston.

Impact It was his best scoring effort since Dec. 7, when Morant erupted for 32 and nearly recorded a triple-double in Boston, while Monday's four steals were a new season high. In three games since returning from a shoulder issue, Morant has had two strong performances and one mediocre one, averaging 22.7 points, 3.7 boards, 3.7 assists, 2.0 steals and 1.7 threes while shooting 38.5 percent from the floor and 25.0 percent (5-for-20) from beyond the arc as he tries to regain his shooting stroke.

Available Monday Morant (illness) has been cleared to play Monday against the Rockets.

Iffy due to illness Morant (illness) is questionable for Monday's game versus Houston, Michael Wallace of the Grizzlies' official site reports.

Impact Morant was a very late addition to the injury report which doesn't bode well for his status against the Rockets. He's coming off a tough game against the Timberwolves with 12 points in 30 minutes, but he did end up hitting the game-winning shot. If Morant is unable to play Monday, Scotty Pippen and Luke Kennard could be more involved for the Grizzlies.

Sinks game-winning shot Morant logged 12 points (5-19 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one steal over 30 minutes during Saturday's 127-125 victory over the Timberwolves.

Impact Morant had a rough outing from an efficiency perspective, as he made only five of his 19 shots overall. However, and as has happened plenty of times in the past, the star floor general came through when Mmephis needed him the most, and he sunk what ended up being the game-winning shot with a floater from a tight angle. Fantasy managers shouldn't stop trusting Morant for one inefficient game, though. This was the first time he failed to reach the 15-point mark since Dec. 19.

Scores 27 in return Morant (shoulder) tallied 27 points (9-22 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 8-11 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one steal across 29 minutes in Thursday's 119-115 loss to the Rockets.

Impact After suffering a Grade 1 AC joint sprain in his right shoulder during a Dec. 27 win over the Pelicans, Morant proceeded to miss five straight games before making his return Thursday. The Grizzlies eased Morant back in to some degree by keeping him under 30 minutes in a close loss, but the point guard didn't seem to be inhibited by the injury, as he took on a massive 43.3 percent usage rate and matched or surpassed season highs in both field-goal and free-throw attempts. Assuming Morant came out of Thursday's game with no setbacks, fantasy managers who had been stashing him in an injured reserve slot can feel comfortable activating him ahead of Saturday's game at Minnesota.

Will play Thursday Morant (shoulder) is available for Thursday's game against the Rockets.

Impact Morant was deemed a game-time call for Thursday, but the star floor general will suit up and should handle his regular workload in his return from a five-game absence. This means Scotty Pippen will likely revert to a bench role. Morant's last game came on Dec. 27, when he posted 25 points and seven assists across 25 minutes in a win over the Pelicans.
