Ja Morant, the star player for the Memphis Grizzlies, is questionable for the crucial play-in game against the Dallas Mavericks due to a right ankle injury suffered during a recent game against the Golden State Warriors. After stepping on an opponent's foot, he managed to continue playing and scored 22 points. Memphis interim coach Tuomas Iisalo expressed optimism about Morant's drive to play, emphasizing it's a genuine game-time decision reflecting his physical readiness.
Morant limped off but got up and finished the three-point play. He then went to the bench nursing the ankle, before returning early in the fourth quarter.
If he's physically able to do it, he will do it. It's a legitimate gametime decision.
