Not playing Saturday Morant (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Wizards.

Impact Morant is one of nine Memphis players who have been ruled out for Saturday's game against Washington.

Ruled out for Wednesday Morant (ankle) won't play Wednesday in Minnesota, Michael Wallace of the Grizzlies' official site reports.

Impact Morant will return to the sidelines Wednesday after tweaking his ankle during Monday's win over the Clippers, and for now, he should be considered questionable for Saturday's game versus the Wizards. Cam Spencer (personal) will be joining Morant on the inactive list Wednesday evening, so Vince Williams is likely looking at big minutes and a starting role.

Downgraded to doubtful Morant (ankle) has been downgraded to doubtful for Wednesday's game against Minnesota.

Impact After tweaking his ankle Monday against the Clippers, Morant was initially carrying a questionable tag. It's now looking like the Grizzlies will hold him out, however, but that's not a huge surprise given his durability concerns. With Morant likely to be sidelined, the Grizzlies will likely lean on Vince Williams, Jaylen Wells and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope with Cam Spencer (personal) also out.

Iffy for Wednesday Morant (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves.

Impact The star guard tweaked his ankle during the fourth quarter of Monday's win over the Clippers, and his status remains uncertain for Wednesday. With Cam Spencer (personal) already ruled out, Vince Williams would likely serve as the de facto point guard in the event that Morant is also unable to play.

Tweaks ankle Monday Morant suffered an ankle injury during the fourth quarter of Monday's game against the Clippers, Mark Medina of TheSportingTribune.com reports.

Impact Morant injured his ankle on a drive to the basket and was in obvious pain after the play, per Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal. He would check out with 3:40 remaining in the contest and didn't return with the game comfortably in hand. The team intends to re-evaluate the star point guard Tuesday, and the hope is that he managed to avoid a significant injury.

DECEMBER 16 • ROTOWIRE

Remaining on restriction Monday Morant will be on a minutes limit Monday against the Clippers, Janis Carr Orange County Register reports.

Impact Morant was on a 25-minute restriction in his first game back Friday against the Jazz, and he figures to stick around that mark again Monday as the Grizzlies ease him back into action. He was incredibly effective in a 130-126 loss Monday, racking up 21 points, four rebounds, 10 assists and one block.

Keyonte George scored a career-high 39 points, including the final six points for Utah, as the Jazz beat Memphis 130-126 in Ja Morant’s return to the Grizzlies’ lineup

Scores 21 points in return Morant had 21 points (7-20 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 5-7 FT), four rebounds, 10 assists and a block across 25 minutes in Friday's 130-126 loss to the Grizzlies.

Impact Morant was limited to 25 minutes in his return from a 10-game absence due to a calf injury, but that was more than enough to show he's fully recovered. He posted a double-double, and while there was some rust in his shooting, he showed glimpses of his talent and elite ability to run the offense. Morant should remain the Grizzlies' go-to option on offense as long as he finds a way to stay healthy.
