Grizzlies' Morant Questionable Due to Illness

Ja Morant of the Memphis Grizzlies is facing uncertainties as he is added to the injury report due to an illness, rendering him questionable for the upcoming game against the Houston Rockets. Morant recently returned from a shoulder injury, marked by his game-winning performance against the Minnesota Timberwolves, despite scoring just 12 points and missing all his three-point attempts. His crucial plays in the final minute helped secure a 125-117 victory, with the game notable for its 25 lead changes. Despite his scoring struggles, Morant's ability to deliver in critical moments is evident, as seen in his decisive floater shot over Rudy Gobert. The Grizzlies' victory was also supported by Jaren Jackson Jr.'s 33 points and Desmond Bane's 21 points. Morant's continued absence due to injuries could impact his eligibility for major awards this NBA season.
