Ja Morant Probable for Friday Return Against Jazz

Zach Edey's ankle setback keeps Memphis from fielding its full starting unit.

Overview

  • Memphis upgraded Morant from questionable to probable to face Utah on Friday.
  • He has missed the past 10 games since Nov. 15 with a right calf strain.
  • Head coach Tuomas Iisalo said Morant completed a full practice and is trending to play.
  • Center Zach Edey is expected to be out about four weeks with lingering ankle issues, limiting lineup continuity.
  • The Grizzlies have moved the ball better without Morant, and he bought 250 tickets for fans for the Jazz game.
