Is Ja Morant playing tonight? Grizzlies vs. Warriors time, TV channel and live stream for Saturday NBA game
The Grizzlies have been without Ja Morant since March 5, when the all-star guard retired from the team after a series of questionable decisions.
Memphis has won 3-3 in six games without Morant. Interim starter Tyus Jones has stepped up in his absence to prove he’s one of the best backup point guards in the NBA, averaging 16.3 points, 7.3 assists, 3.8 rebounds and 1.5 steals per game in this span of time.
The Grizzlies will take on their rivals Warriors on Saturday, which is good news since the game will be played in Memphis. Golden State has been one of the worst road teams in the NBA this season. They have lost nine straight away games and hold a 7-27 season road record – linked to the third fewest road wins in the league.
Will Morant be available to return for the Grizzlies’ home game against the Warriors? The Sporting News have brought you the latest updates on Morant’s situation below.
