Ja Morant this postseason leads the Grizzlies in points, rebounds, assists, steals. I know they were terrific without him in the regular season, but that’s a lot of ground to cover if he can’t go – 7:38 PM

I certainly hope Ja Morant can play. It cannot be overstated how badly the Grizzlies need him. So far in this series, the Grizzlies have been outscored by 50 points/100 possessions in the 29 minutes Ja Morant has not played. THAT’S A NEGATIVE FIFTY NET RATING. YIKES. – 12:32 PM

The knee injury obscures a lot but Ja Morant had an incredible game, really was fantastic not only as an offensive weapon but also as a leader – his body language was really good throughout the game. Kept working hard. That was good to see. – 12:15 PM

More on this storyline
Ja Morant: stand tall. stay solid. – God wouldn’t put something hard in your life if he thought you weren’t strong enough to get thru it 💯 -via Twitter @JaMorant / May 9, 2022 Mark Medina: Taylor Jenkins listed Ja Morant as “day-to-day.” Tyus Jones will start in Ja’s place. -via Twitter @MarkG_Medina / May 9, 2022 Peter Edmiston: Nothing I have heard or seen today gives me any expectation that Ja Morant will play tonight – or probably again in the series. The Grizzlies probably want to leave that door open just to make the Warriors have to prepare for the possibility. But I’d guess it’s quite unlikely. -via Twitter @peteredmiston / May 9, 2022
