The Memphis Grizzlies have been a disaster this season. It’s been an even worse season for Ja Morant, as he’s only managed to play in 20 games due to a litany of injuries. Morant, who was looked at a few years ago and one of the young star faces of the league, has had a difficult time staying healthy in his career. He hasn’t played since suffering a UCL sprain in his elbow in a loss to the Atlanta Hawks back on January 21st. With Morant injured once again, Memphis made the decision to send former DPOY Jaren Jackson Jr. out before the trade deadline, effectively setting the franchise up for a rebuild. Now without their two best players and nothing to play for in the bottom in the West, Memphis has been in freefall and are just 2-11 in the month of March.
The San Antonio Spurs, meanwhile, have been the story of the West’s second half. At 54-18 and still sitting just three games behind Oklahoma City for the top seed, the Spurs have won 9 out of 10 and have won six straight. They’re coming off a stunning display of what their peak might look like in their demolition of the Miami Heat in South Beach on Monday night. As the season has played out, the Spurs have gotten noticeably better at taking care of their business and winning games that they’re expected to win. With the Grizzlies coming into this one with an injury report that’s 10 players deep coming compared to just 1 player on San Antonio’s, tonight is one of those games.
