Halftime:
Just like you expected, the Memphis Grizzlies — without Ja Morant, Desmond Bane and Jaren Jackson — lead the Nets 62-57 at halftime.
Dillon Brooks has 17 points . Steven Adams has 12.
18 first-half assists. Ball movement clinic so far. – 8:10 PM
Chris Mannix @SIChrisMannix
Quiet first half for Kyrie Irving in his return to the Nets lineup. Five points, three rebounds in 13 minutes. He is the only Brooklyn starter with a positive plus/minus (+2). Ja Morant-less Grizz up 62-57. – 8:10 PM
Kristian Winfield @Krisplashed
Nets trail Grizzlies, 62-57, at the half. The Grizzlies have Ja Morant, Jaren Jackson, Desmond Bane and Danny Green all in street clothes, but they are playing good defense and generating open looks. Barclays feels lifeless right now. Nets need to get in the game. – 8:09 PM

Grizzlies, without Ja Morant, Desmond Bane or Jaren Jackson Jr., lead the Brooklyn Nets 62-57 at halftime.

Two years ago today, Ja Morant met Ja Raffe.
Hope he’s doing well in Utah. No wonder the Jazz are off to a great start this season. pic.twitter.com/mwOqHjbCse11:18 AM

NBA League Pass Game of the Day: Grizzlies at Nets
Kyrie Irving is expected to return from his suspension, just in time for a Brooklyn team that needs to build some positive momentum. Ja Morant is out, but remember, Memphis is still pretty good when they have to play without Ja. pic.twitter.com/OhO9CEhHOU4:40 AM

Ja Morant week-to-week with Grade 1 ankle sprain nba.nbcsports.com/2022/11/19/ja-…6:12 PM
Drew Hill @DrewHill_DM
Week-to-week for Ja Morant. Grade 1 sprain.
He had a grade 2 ankle sprain (same foot) his second season and came back before the 3-to-5 week timeline.
All injuries are different, but Grizz avoided the worst. dailymemphian.com/section/sports…4:58 PM
Damichael Cole @DamichaelC
No Desmond Bane or Ja Morant for the Grizzlies right now. The Grizzlies’ next man up moniker is about to face its toughest test.

Ja Morant injury update: Grizzlies star out at least a week with Grade 1 ankle sprain
cbssports.com/nba/news/ja-mo…4:32 PM
Jeff Stotts @InStreetClothes
Re: Ja Morant: A Grade 1 sprain is considered mild w/ micro tearing of the involved ligaments. Morant has a history of injury here having previously missed time w/ a Grade 2 (incomplete tear) sprain of the same ankle. That injury occurred last season & cost Morant 8 games. – 4:31 PM
