Agent Believes Ja Morant Will Dominate Next Season
Ja Morant is expected to have a big comeback campaign in 2024-25. We have seen very little of Morant recently due to various issues, but the upcoming season could be his best one yet. "Ja Morant is coming for all the work this year. All of it," said Morant's agent, Mike Miller, on The OGs Show. "How soon they forget. That's all I'll say: He's about to come for it." Morant was limited to nine appearances in 2023-24, posting 25.1 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 8.1 assists. It was reported in early July that the explosive guard had been cleared for five-on-five action after recovering from shoulder surgery.

Ja Morant Cleared To Play Friday
Ja Morant (ankle) will play in Friday's elimination game against the Dallas Mavericks. Morant is dealing with a "severe" ankle sprain and received an injection in his ankle on Thursday. He was originally listed as questionable for Friday's game before the team upgraded his status to available. Morant's presence in the lineup is a major boost for Memphis, but it remains to be seen how effectively he can play through his ankle injury.

Ja Morant Listed As Questionable For Friday
Ja Morant (ankle) has been officially listed as questionable for Friday's play-in game against the Dallas Mavericks. Morant's status is iffy after he hurt his right ankle in Tuesday's loss to the Golden State Warriors. Following the game, the Grizzlies superstar said that he will play in Friday's do-or-die contest, but he missed Thursday's practice, and the team considers him a game-time decision. Losing Morant would be a significant blow to Memphis' hopes of winning and making the playoffs. His absence is set to elevate the fantasy value of Scotty Pippen Jr.. Vince Williams Jr. and Luke Kennard might also benefit, depending on who fills Morant's spot in the first unit.

Ja Morant Says He'll Play On Friday Night
Ja Morant (ankle) says he'll suit up for Friday's Play-In game against the Kings or Mavericks. He tweaked his ankle in Tuesday's loss to the Golden State Warriors. Still, Morant finished with 22 points in 35 minutes. DFS managers will likely see the 24-year-old pop up on the Injury report heading into Friday's contest. If Morant suffers a setback and gets ruled out, Scotty Pippen Jr., who averaged 14.2 points, 5.7 assists, and 1.7 steals in 21 starts during the regular season, will likely take over at the one.

Ja Morant Back In Action Tuesday
Ja Morant (shoulder) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Tuesday's play-in clash against the Golden State Warriors. Morant did not play in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Dallas Mavericks due to a shoulder issue. The Grizzlies superstar was on fire during the final stretch of the regular season and will be expected to carry that form into Tuesday's high-stakes game. This month, Morant has averaged 30.2 points and 5.8 assists with over 41 percent shooting from beyond the arc.
