JA MORANT NEWS

Good to go Thursday Morant (back) is available for Thursday's game against the Warriors, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.

Impact Morant will suit up after having been deemed questionable for Thursday's game due to lower back soreness. Over his last five outings, the superstar has averaged 23.8 points, 7.2 assists, 5.6 rebounds and 1.8 steals while shooting 38.7 percent from deep across 31.2 minutes per contest.

Dealing with back soreness Morant is questionable for Thursday's game against the Warriors due to low back soreness.

Impact Morant missed eight games in November due to a hip injury and has also experienced back and knee problems in recent weeks, so this shouldn't come as a surprise. His absence would be a huge blow for the Grizzlies, however, as the star floor general has averaged 23.8 points, 7.2 assists, 5.6 rebounds and 1.8 steals per game over his last five appearances. If Morant can't go Thursday, expect Scotty Pippen to take his place in the lineup.

Stuffs stat sheet Sunday Morant registered 20 points (6-21 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 6-8 FT), seven rebounds, six assists and three steals over 31 minutes during Sunday's 116-110 loss to the Lakers.

Impact On the surface, Morant had a strong performance Monday and delivered another impressive stat line. However, he had major struggles when dealing with Max Christie as his primary defender. Morant finished with more field-goal attempts than points scored, and he also committed a season-high seven turnovers. Fantasy managers will surely live with that lack of efficiency, though, as long as he continues to light up the stat sheet regularly.

Comes close to triple-double Morant finished with 28 points (10-19 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 5-8 FT), seven rebounds, 10 assists and one steal over 32 minutes during Friday's 135-119 victory over the Nets.

Impact Morant returned to the starting lineup after a one-game absence and did it with an eye-popping performance, carrying the Grizzlies to victory with an outstanding effort on both ends of the court. Morant finished just three rebounds away from recording what would've been his second triple-double of the season. Morant has been on a tear of late, surpassing the 25-point mark in four of his last six contests and averaging 24.2 points, 7.5 assists, 4.3 rebounds and 1.7 steals per game in that stretch.

Impact Morant is slated for a return to game action after missing Saturday's win over the Wizards due to back soreness. In his last five outings, the superstar has averaged 23.4 points, 7.0 assists, 3.8 rebounds and 1.8 steals across 29.8 minutes per contest.

Ruled out Sunday Morant (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Wizards.

Impact The superstar will miss Sunday's game due to back soreness, though he'll have until Friday against the Nets to shake off the injury. Morant will join Desmond Bane (toe) on the sideline, meaning the Grizzlies will likely take an extended look at Scotty Pippen, John Konchar and Jaylen Wells.

Iffy Sunday Morant is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Wizards due to back soreness.

Impact Morant is questionable for the second leg of the Grizzlies' back-to-back set Sunday. The superstar has appeared in each of the club's last five outings, during which he averaged 23.4 points, 7.0 assists, 3.8 rebounds and 1.8 steals across 29.8 minutes per game. If Morant is sidelined, Scotty Pippen and Marcus Smart are candidates for an increased role.

Leads ream with 32 points Morant notched 32 points (11-20 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 6-7 FT), nine rebounds, nine assists and two steals over 34 minutes during Saturday's 127-121 victory over Boston.

Impact Morant looked solid in his sixth game back from injury. His scoring explosiveness and ball distribution skills were both on point during Saturday's win, further insuring his viability as a top fantasy option moving forward. Although he may take a seat occasionally for injury management over the next couple of weeks, Morant is an elite fantasy guard and a must-start in all formats.
