Ja Morant - Out at least two weeks Morant (knee) will be re-evaluated in two weeks, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
Impact This news effectively ends Morant's fantasy season, and it seems like he could struggle to make it back on the court before the playoffs. Tyus Jones and De'Anthony Melton should continue holding down point guard minutes in the meantime, but this is a significant blow for the Grizzlies.

Killian Tillie - Ruled out again Tillie (knee) will remain out for Thursday's game against Indiana.
Impact Tillie will miss a fourth straight game with a sore left knee. He hasn't been a part of the regular rotation since late January.

Brandon Clarke - Won't play Thursday Clarke (hip) will not play in Thursday's game against Indiana.
Impact Clarke will join Dillon Brooks (rest) and Ja Morant (knee) on the Grizzlies' inactive list Thursday as they finish out a back-to-back set against an inferior opponent. Clarke posted a 14-point, 10-rebound double-double in 20 minutes Wednesday night against the Nets.
MARCH 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Dillon Brooks - Out on second half of B2B Brooks will not play in Thursday's game against Indiana.
Impact With the Grizzlies playing on the second night of a back-to-back, Brooks will get the night off in the name of "injury management" after he missed significant time in January, February and March due to a left ankle injury. Brooks finished Wednesday night's win over the Nets with 21 points in 34 minutes -- both his highest totals since returning from injury.
MARCH 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Ja Morant - Ruled out vs. Pacers Morant (knee) will remain out for Thursday's game against Indiana.
Impact This will be the fourth absence in the last five games for Morant, who's apparently dealing with fairly significant soreness in his right knee. Chances are, the Grizzlies are being extra cautious with their young superstar, but with the playoffs fast approaching, Morant's status will be worth closely monitoring. Expect Tyus Jones to make another start at point guard Thursday.
