In my conversation with Stephen A. Smith, we talked about how he’s warming up to the Memphis Grizzlies as title contenders after sleeping on them. And not just Ja Morant.

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

Jonathan Feigen: Grizzlies star Ja Morant is out tomorrow against the Rockets with a sore right knee. -via Twitter @Jonathan_Feigen / March 19, 2022
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
Meghan Triplett: Even though Ja Morant is listed as OUT, he still came out to the court and did his usual pregame warm up. -via Twitter @Meghan_Triplett / March 15, 2022
