Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (hamstring) remains questionable heading into Saturday's matchup with the Los Angeles Lakers after missing the last six games because of a hamstring strain. However, on a wider scale, with the team relieving Taylor Jenkins of his head coaching duties, there are now questions about Morant's future with the organization, specifically, whether he wants to remain in Memphis. The front office has made it known in the past that the multi-time All-Star isn't on the block. But even if Morant wanted to be moved this offseason, "at least two league executives" have questioned his value from rival clubs around the National Basketball Association. Without question, the 25-year-old has MVP potential. Unfortunately, he's had trouble staying on the floor throughout his career due to injuries and off-the-court incidents. His production has also dipped this season, averaging 22.3 points, his lowest since the 2020-21 campaign. While the new offense that was installed is a big reason why Morant has suffered on the scoring end, his inability to stay healthy has also severely compromised his worth for fantasy managers.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (hamstring) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Lakers after missing the last six games due to a hamstring strain. The Grizzlies are comfortably sitting in the playoff picture. Yet, it didn't stop the team from firing head coach Taylor Jenkins on Friday. With that said, if Morant can't play, Scotty Pippen Jr., averaging 14.2 points, 5.8 assists, and 1.7 steals in 20 starts this season, could find himself back in the starting lineup, with Desmond Bane, Santi Aldama, and Jaren Jackson Jr. in line to see more scoring opportunities.

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant (hamstring) will remain sidelined for Thursday's tilt against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He has still not fully recovered from a hamstring strain and will miss a sixth consecutive game. Scotty Pippen Jr. and Luke Kennard's workloads have increased during Morant's absence, along with Desmond Bane's offensive usage. Pippen Jr. is likely to remain in the starting unit, where he has averaged 13.9 points, 4.1 rebounds, 5.5 assists, and 1.5 steals this season.
