Ja Morant's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (back) is questionable heading into Thursday's encounter with the Golden State Warriors. The 2019 No. 2 overall pick has averaged 22.0 points, 8.4 assists, and 1.1 steals during the 2024-25 campaign. However, he's also missed 11 games for various reasons. With Marcus Smart (shoulder) doubtful, Scotty Pippen Jr. may fill the void at the one if low back soreness keeps Morant off the floor versus the Dubs. Pippen has played well with the first-five this season, averaging 13.4 points, 5.9 assists, and 1.4 steals in 10 starts, making him a must-start in nearly any fantasy format.

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant (back) will not suit up for Sunday's clash against Washington. After going close to a 30-point triple-double in Saturday's win over Boston, Morant steps aside for at least one game due to back soreness. This is a signal for fantasy managers to fire up Scotty Pippen Jr, who produced his first career triple-double in a matchup against the Wizards earlier in the season. Marcus Smart should also benefit from Morant's absence, especially after he had a light 19-minute workload on Saturday versus the Celtics.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (back) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Washington Wizards. Morant appears to be dealing back soreness, but looked fine on Saturday when he finished with 32 points and nine assists across 34 minutes of action. It sounds like this is a minor issue, but fantasy managers should check back ahead of tip-off. If Morant sits, Scotty Pippen Jr. and Marcus Smart are both candidates to see increased roles. Pippen played extremely well when Morant was out earlier in the season. That being said, Pippen could be worth a look as a streaming choice if Morant is unable to play.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (knee) is expected to come back and play after a one-game absence. The team has listed him as probable despite the left knee contusion. Morant has been a mainstay on the injury report this season, so getting a probable tag is a welcomed development. As he joins the starting five again, Scottie Pippen Jr. and Jaylen Wells will likely take a hit in fantasy value.

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's encounter with Detroit. Per Damichael Cole of The Commercial Appeal, Morant is out with a left knee contusion. Memphis' star guard only just returned from a hip problem, which kept him out of action for eight games. He's already set to miss his 10th contest of the season against the Pistons. Morant's absence will elevate Scotty Pippen Jr.'s fantasy value. He produced a big 30-point double-double in the last game without Morant. However, getting the same kind of numbers out of him on Wednesday seems unlikely because Detroit allows the third-fewest fantasy points to opposing point guards.
