Coach Jenkins said Ja Morant is doing well. He is balancing knee soreness that crept in at the end of the last game and are going to give him a few days.
The team doesn’t play again until Wednesday and will take these next 2 days to see how he responds & get with medical team. – 2:12 PM

During pregame, Stephen Silas said the story of the game will definitely be rebounding.
On preparing for the Grizz without Ja Morant, Silas said while they won’t have his dynamic play that Ja brings, it’s still difficult because they are 13-2 w/ out him & play more motivated. – 1:58 PM

Rockets head coach Stephen Silas is aware of how well the Grizzlies have played without Ja Morant. He mentioned Desmond Bane’s aggression as one thing he notices.
“Everybody steps up just a little bit. It’s not just one guy.” – 1:54 PM

More on this storyline

The Grizzlies had a season-low 18 assists and 16 turnovers. “We got ourselves in some bad spots where we weren’t moving the ball early in some possessions, their length bothered us, but I got to give them credit,” Grizzlies coach Taylor Jenkins said. “They played real well defensively.” Morant led the Grizzlies with 29 points on 11 of 23 shooting. He limped to the locker room after the game. “No firm update,” Jenkins said. “He said he felt a little soreness in the knee. Jgot a little tight on him, so just precautionary, wanted to take him out.” -via Memphis Commercial Appeal / March 19, 2022
