Impact Morant entered Tuesday's contest having dished out 17 assists over his last two outings, but he was a far more aggressive scorer against Philadelphia. He put the Grizzlies on his back with 18 points in the fourth quarter, and his six points in overtime brought him to the 40-point mark for the first time this season and 10th time in his NBA career. Morant played 34 minutes and appears to be past a left ankle sprain that caused him to miss four games in December. He'll have two days rest before the Grizzlies' next game Friday against the Lakers.

Tallies 21 points vs. Washington Morant registered 21 points (8-16 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and seven assists during Memphis' 116-112 loss to Washington on Sunday.

Impact Morant tied Cam Spencer for the most assists for the Grizzlies on Sunday, and the former finished as the team's second-leading scorer behind Jaren Jackson (26 points). Morant's playing time was below 30 minutes for a second consecutive game as he continues to work his way back from calf and ankle injuries that have caused him to miss 14 of 18 games since Nov. 18. He's been productive in his two games back, and he'll look to carry that momentum in Tuesday's home tilt against the 76ers.

Posts double-double in return Morant recorded 17 points (6-11 FG, 5-6 FT), four rebounds, 10 assists and one steal across 25 minutes during Friday's 125-104 victory over the Bucks.

Impact Morant was cleared to play closer to tip-off, and, as head coach Tuomas Iisalo announced prior to the game, his minutes were monitored, as he logged only 25. Fortunately for the Grizzlies, the team secured an easy 19-point win, and fantasy managers who continue to trust Morant should be happy as well as he recorded a double-double despite the playing time restrictions. It's unclear if Morant will have a minutes restriction going forward, but it'll be hard to keep him on the bench for too long if he plays like he did Friday. This was his fifth double-double of the campaign.
