The Grizzlies could get a pair of starters back on Friday, having listed point guard Ja Morant and Cedric Coward as questionable to suit up against Milwaukee (Twitter link).
Morant sprained his left ankle last Monday in just his second game back from a right calf strain which sidelined him for 10 contests. He has missed Memphis’ past four games with the ankle issue.
Coward, the No. 11 overall pick in this year’s draft, is dealing with left heel soreness. He was out for Tuesday’s loss in Utah, the first absence of his rookie campaign.
The Grizzlies have been decimated by injuries once again in 2025/26 and will be without six players (Brandon Clarke, Zach Edey, Ty Jerome, John Konchar, Scotty Pippen Jr. and Vince Williams Jr.) on Friday. The team has still managed to be competitive though, holding a 14-16 record after 30 games.
