Overview

  • The Grizzlies ruled Morant out in Boston with right‑ankle soreness a day after he was hurt in the loss at Madison Square Garden.
  • Boston cruised 131-95 with 21 threes and five players in double figures, while Memphis shot 34% and trailed by as many as 38.
  • Morant’s recent slump continued in New York with 4-for-14 shooting and multiple turnovers, part of a five-game stretch marked by high miscues and poor efficiency.
  • A tunnel video showed a fan urging Morant to join the Knicks and Morant replying, “I’m cool,” following the loss at MSG.
  • Trade interest in Morant has been exploratory to this point, and reporting says Memphis would require either a star-for-star swap or a large package of picks and young players.
