Ja Morant Ruled Out Wednesday with Ankle Injury, Questionable for Saturday

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (ankle) was initially downgraded to doubtful and has now been officially ruled out for Wednesday's game against Minnesota. Morant tweaked his ankle during Monday's contest against the Clippers. Given his history of durability concerns, the Grizzlies are holding him out, and he should be considered questionable for Saturday's game versus the Wizards. In his absence, Vince Williams is likely to see significant minutes and a starting role, with Jaylen Wells and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope also taking on larger roles.
