SAN ANTONIO — Ja Morant was sidelined for the Memphis-San Antonio rematch on Friday night because of a sore right foot, and the Grizzlies guard became ineligible for the NBA’s postseason ...

Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant was added to the injury report on Friday morning. Morant is questionable to play against the New Orleans Pelicans due to an illness. Morant has missed 18 games this season while dealing with a string of injuries. The 18 missed games led to Morant being ineligible for All-NBA and other regular season awards.

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

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

Yes, Ja Morant dunked all over Hector Banana-Bread — er, Victor Wembanyama after the whistle on Wednesday night in the Memphis Grizzlies’ win over the San Antonio Spurs. But no matter.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

OG Anunoby scored a team-high 33 points, helping lead the New York Knicks to 143-120 win over the visiting Sacramento Kings on Saturday.
