EDGE Analysis

Morant shot below 40 percent from the field for the second straight outing after finishing 13-for-20 (65 percent) in Memphis' season opener. However, he made all nine of his free-throw attempts and led all players in assists with eight. Morant and the Grizzlies head out for a two-game road trip Monday when they visit the Warriors, followed by a matchup with the Suns on Wednesday.

Morant finished Friday's 146-114 loss to the Heat with 12 points (4-16 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds and six assists over 22 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Morant played through an apparent ankle injury, an issue that may have contributed to his poor play. He shot a woeful 4-for-16 from the field as the Grizzlies were soundly beaten. Memphis will have to back up Saturday, facing off against the Pacers. With his ankle continuing to bother him, managers may want to keep an eye on the injury report ahead of that game.

EDGE Analysis

Morant is dealing with left ankle soreness, but that won't keep him off the floor. The superstar guard is coming off an impressive season debut, dropping 35 points in the win over the Pelicans on Wednesday.

Morant (ankle) is questionable to play in Friday's game against the Heat, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Morant had a monster game in the season opener, dropping 35 points against the Pelicans. However, he's dealing with an ankle injury that could keep him sidelined for the first game of a back-to-back situation. If that happens, the team will likely turn to Javon Small and Cam Spencer to help shoulder the load in the backcourt.

Morant generated 35 points (13-20 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 7-8 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one steal over 29 minutes in Wednesday's 128-122 win over New Orleans.

EDGE Analysis

Morant started the 2025-26 season on a high note, delivering a game-high 35 points while shooting 65 percent from the field. The 26-year-old guard scored 35 or more points in just three of his 50 regular-season appearances last season, and he attempted 22 or more field goals in each of those contests. Morant looks to be completely over the ankle injury he suffered in early October.

Morant (ankle) has been cleared to play in Wednesday's season opener against the Pelicans.

EDGE Analysis

Morant has been dealing with an ankle sprain he suffered earlier this month. The superstar guard has been adamant about his playing status for the start of the regular season and will be good to go as expected.

Morant (ankle) is expected to be available for Wednesday's season opener against the Pelicans, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Morant appears to be making good progress from a sprained left ankle, which he suffered in early October. The star guard can be tentatively considered probable for Opening Night, and Memphis could lean on Morant with Scotty Pippen (toe) on the shelf.

Head coach Tuomas Iisalo said Morant (ankle) won't play in Friday's preseason game against the Heat but "is progressing really well" and participated in the team's shootaround, Michael Wallace of the Grizzlies' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Morant is still recovering from a sprained left ankle, though the Grizzlies are hopeful he'll return for Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Pelicans. With the star guard sidelined and Ty Jerome ramping up, Cam Spencer and Javon Small are candidates for a bump in minutes.

Morant (ankle) expects to be ready for Opening Night, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Morant scoffed at the idea that he won't be healthy in time for the start of the regular season, which is an encouraging sign. The star guard will still be evaluated on a week-to-week basis up until the Oct. 22 season opener against the Pelicans, but it appears as though he'll be ready to roll by then. If not, Ty Jerome and Scotty Pippen will likely share the minutes at point guard.

Morant is considered week-to-week with a sprained left ankle he suffered at Sunday's practice, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.

EDGE Analysis

This is a tough blow for Morant with Opening Night looming. This news rules Morant out for at least three preseason contests, and it sounds like he'll be re-evaluated on a weekly basis. If Morant's injury lingers into the regular season, the Grizzlies could turn to Ty Jerome, who was a priority for them in free agency.
