LOS ANGELES ― One of the three injured Memphis Grizzlies starters is closing in on a return ... "We'll see how he wakes up tomorrow," coach Taylor Jenkins said. Ja Morant and Desmond Bane are the other two starters who remain out against the Lakers ...

The Memphis Grizzlies embarrassed the Milwaukee Bucks to rebound from a home loss to the lowly Brooklyn Nets a day beforehand. Giannis Antetokounpo had the Beale Street Blues at the free throw line, and the FedEx Forum crowd let the visitors hear some celebratory high notes.

Ja Morant has been dealing with an injury after he was hit in midair by Christian Koloko in the Memphis Grizzlies ’ game against the Los Angeles Lakers. It was a puzzling play because he got undercut in the middle of his jump, which led to him falling hard onto the ground and no foul was called.
