Really not great for Ja Morant to be out at least two weeks at this time of year. Always best to get things right, but this really rough timing. – 6:25 PM

Taylor Jenkins said he does not have concerns about Ja Morant being rusty for the playoffs. He said their ramp up process typically helps to eliminate that. – 6:24 PM

With Ja Morant: The team is still offloading him. The plan is to reevaluate him in two weeks.
He is rehabbing and is expected to be back by the the playoffs. – 6:21 PM

From last night: The Nets got schooled in chemistry class, when a Ja Morant-less Grizzlies team ran up the score. Talent alone won’t get the job done in Brooklyn. For @NYDNSports: trib.al/ZsXyEfI – 11:45 AM

COLUMN: Behind the scenes of a Memphis Grizzlies win over KD, Kyrie & Brooklyn the nation needed to see. Maybe now the false narrative Memphis might be better without Ja Morant can stop. Maybe now everyone realizes these Grizzlies are just really good.

Grizzlies fight off Kyrie’s 43 and KD’s 35 and improve to 15-2 without Ja Morant. Look no further than the 52-11 advantage from the bench.
Memphis is dangerous. Nets have things to figure out with 9 games left. – 10:14 PM

What a statement win by the Grizzlies that was without Ja Morant.
Consider it a parting gift, ESPN. You have plenty to talk about tomorrow. – 10:12 PM

The 50th Grizzlies win might be the most reassuring of them all. Amazing 4Q performances by Desmond Bane, Brandon Clarke and Jaren Jackson Jr. No Ja Morant, KD and Kyrie combine for 78 points, no problem. – 10:03 PM

Grizzlies up 76-62 on #Nets at halftime without Ja Morant.
Irving 22, Durant 19.
Former #Suns guard D’Anthony Melton 20 off bench for Griz.
Dillon Brooks 16.
#Suns win w/Grizzlies loss gives Phoenix homecourt advantage throughout playoffs.
Down 7 with 5:44 left in half. – 8:55 PM

The #Grizzlies are 14-2 without Ja Morant. This team is athletic, physical and has all kinds of attitude. #Nets down 76-62 at the break. – 8:55 PM

The Grizzlies are one of the deepest teams in the NBA. Don’t be too surprised. This is what they’ve been doing when guys were in and out of COVID protocols, Ja Morant was out and when Dillon Brooks was out. That No. 2 seed ain’t a fluke. – 8:29 PM

Sensational job by Grizzlies GM Zach Kleiman and head coach Taylor Jenkins. Memphis leads, 40-32, after the first quarter, and they’re playing without Ja Morant. This roster just makes sense. 3 and D wings, versatile guards, tough bigs. This team is legit. – 8:13 PM

De’Anthony Melton’s been hitting contested 3s, but Kyrie Irving just hit a ridiculous and-one layup to make this a 30-26 game led by the Grizzlies.
Memphis is showing what chemistry and continuity looks like, off to a strong start w/o All-Star guard Ja Morant. – 8:03 PM

Woj: The Grizzlies just want to keep Ja Morant off of his sore knee for a few days -via YouTube / March 24, 2022
Mark Giannotto: Asked Taylor Jenkins about Ja Morant’s knee injury being called “soreness,” if he had MRI/X-Ray: “They’re doing that right now. Right now, it’s soreness. That’s what he’s feeling. So they’re diving in … to see what’s actually going on & what course of action needs to be taken.” -via Twitter @mgiannotto / March 23, 2022
