Ja Morant’s Return on the Horizon
Memphis Grizzlies head coach Tuomas Iisalo provided an optimistic update on point guard Ja Morant’s recovery during a press conference on Thursday. The anticipation is building as Morant’s potential return could come as soon as Sunday, when the Grizzlies are set to face the Portland Trail Blazers.
Day-to-Day Progression
Iisalo characterized Morant’s status as “day-to-day,” highlighting the positive strides the star guard is making in his recovery from a calf strain. This marks a critical moment for the Grizzlies, who are looking to regain their footing after a season-high three-game winning streak was abruptly halted in San Antonio.
Practice Participation
On Thursday, Morant took part in segments of practice, a significant step forward as he ramps up his activities ahead of the weekend. The Grizzlies are poised to kick off a three-game homestand, beginning with a matchup against the Los Angeles Clippers on Friday before welcoming the Trail Blazers. The team is eager to build on their recent momentum and hopes Morant’s return can bolster their chances.
As fans and teammates alike await further confirmation, the buzz around Morant’s comeback is palpable. The Grizzlies are keen to harness the energy of their home crowd as they work to secure a vital win against Portland.
