Memphis Grizzlies Head Coach Tuomas Iisalo made some news at practice on Thursday with an injury update on Ja Morant. A "day-to-day" designation is significant for a team that is in desperate need of point guard play (no offense to Vince Williams Jr., who has averaged eight assists the last ten games in relief). It is also an opportunity for Ja to change the narrative away from trade speculation to what Morant does best - be an impactful basketball player (when healthy).
Morant's eventual return to the Memphis starting lineup (either Sunday against the Portland Trail Blazers or next Friday against the Utah Jazz are logical spots after Ja was ruled out for tonight's game with the Clippers) will mean Williams Jr.
