SAN ANTONIO — Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant is no longer eligible for regular season NBA awards. Morant, who is out on Friday night due to right foot soreness, is missing his 18th game of the season.

Ja Morant, Desmond Bane, and Santi Aldama. Jaren Jackson Jr. contributed 19 points in the game. It was an all-around team performance that the Grizzlies will be looking to replicate in Friday's rematch.

Morant has had several injuries over the past two seasons, and hopefully, this doesn't become a regular thing for one of the young, budding stars in the league. It will be interesting to see what his availability looks like closer to game time.

The NBA requires players to participate in 65 games for selection to the All-NBA teams, MVP, and other awards.

Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant completed a dunk that didn't count over Spurs star Victor Wembanyama on Wednesday night.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant went viral for his wild poster dunk on San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama after the whistle.

After the game Morant, who tallied 21 points, 12 assists, and four rebounds in 31 minutes of action, could not hold back as he let his brutally honest thoughts on his poster dunk against the man known as 'Wemby' be known by local reporters.

Ja Morant is back doing Ja Morant things. He connected on one of his signature ferocious slam dunks, this time over the 7' 3" phenom Victor Wembanyama. However, the dunk went down after the whistle and didn't actually count.

Wembanyama had 13 points and 12 rebounds for San Antonio when all was said and done. While the dunk didn’t count on the scoreboard, it’s sure to remain a memorable one for basketball fans.

Earlier in the game, Wembanyama (13 points, 12 rebounds, eight blocks) was on the wrong end of another poster dunk. He was victimized by Grizzlies rookie Zach Edey, who also had bad intentions against the young phenom.

The Grizzlies outscored San Antonio 43-25 in the third quarter, led by Ja Morant, Luke Kennard and Jay Huff. In the fourth, it was Jaren Jackson Jr.'s time. He shot 2-for-11 in the first half ...

The Memphis Grizzlies ended the 2023-24 regular season with a 27-55 record, as the team was never healthy and head coach Taylor Jenkins didn't have enough talen
