Memphis Grizzlies' Ja Morant added to injury report ahead of game vs Miami Heat
Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant's availability is in question ahead of Saturday' game against the Miami Heat.
Morant is questionable to play due to right shoulder soreness. He was added to the injury report on Saturday afternoon.
Morant's right shoulder has been a lingering issue in recent weeks. He missed two games at the beginning of March due to his right shoulder. After returning on March 5 against Oklahoma City, Morant admitted that he maybe shouldn't have played in that game.
Since playing against Oklahoma City, Morant has suited up in six straight games. In that time, his play has improved, but the shoulder has remained a lingering issue.
Morant had his best individual game of the season on Friday night. The Grizzlies lost to the Cleveland Cavaliers, but Morant finished with 44 points on 17-for-22 shooting.
Memphis will also be without Santi Aldama, who is missing his fourth consecutive game while dealing with a calf injury. Vince Williams Jr. is also doubtful to play due to right ankle soreness.
