Memphis (30-15) has won five straight games, while Utah (10-32) has lost four straight and is in last place in the Western Conference. The Grizzlies are 12-7 this season when Morant does not play and 18-8 when he's in the lineup.

The first pick, Zion Williamson, has been plagued with injuries throughout his young career and this season has been no different. Williamson has only played 10 games this season and has unfortunately already been ruled out for Friday's matchup in Memphis.

Jenkins says Santi Aldama and Ja Morant have cold symptoms and will both be out tonight. Tomorrow night uncertain.Source: Bluesky What’s the buzz on Twitter? Michael C.
