Ja Morant Misses Practice With Ankle Injury, Is ‘Legitimate Game-Time Decision’ Versus Mavs

Ja Morant missed the Memphis Grizzlies’ practice on Thursday due to a sprained right ankle.

Morant suffered the injury on Tuesday against the Warriors in the third quarter. Morant would return to the game.

Morant is experiencing significant swelling in the ankle and has been receiving round-the-clock treatment.

“If he’s physically able to do it, he will do it. It’s a legitimate game-time decision,” said Tuomas Iisalo.
