On Saturday night, the Memphis Grizzlies will host the Los Angeles Lakers.
Before the game, the Grizzlies announced that Ja Morant has been upgraded to questionable.
The two-time NBA All-Star has missed each of the previous six games.
Via ESPN’s Tim MacMahon: “After missing the last six games, Ja Morant (hamstring) has been upgraded to questionable vs. Lakers tomorrow. It will be the Grizzlies’ first game after coach Taylor Jenkins was fired.”
