The Memphis Grizzlies star has clashed with new coach Tuomas Iisalo and his staff, and Morant’s play suffered before another injury sidelined him in recent games. He’s on pace to set career lows in field goal percentage and 3-point percentage heading into a home game against the Denver Nuggets on Monday, Nov. 24.
Morant has appeared in just 71 games since the start of the 2023-24 NBA season due to various ailments and off-court issues, but he’s still a hot topic around the league. He has been the subject of constant trade rumors this season in light of the apparent turmoil within the organization, which also fired former coach Taylor Jenkins with just nine games remaining in the 2024-25 regular season. Morant also made headlines on Saturday night against the Dallas Mavericks for a testy, trash-talking exchange with Mavericks guard Klay Thompson while Morant was on the bench injured.
Monday’s matchup with Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets is the Grizzlies’ first game since that dust-up. Here’s the latest on Morant’s injury status for the Grizzlies’ game against the Nuggets on Nov. 24:
