The Memphis Grizzlies have some concerning personnel news following the Los Angeles Lakers‘ significant upset of the Grizzlies. The Lakers won game 1 of the highly anticipated matchup between the two illustrious teams. The game was back-and-forth, and neither team was able to take a decisive advantage over the other. But before going to Los Angeles, the Grizzlies will host the Lakers once more.
Everyone was delighted because it was a meeting of some of the best players on the basketball court.

The Lakers will aim to replicate their success against the Grizzlies away from home during the regular season. The Grizzlies are concerned because a handful of their players are labeled as questionable for the game against the Lakers.
Ja Morant is questionable for the Memphis Grizzlies vs Los Angeles Lakers game
For the bulk of the season, Ja Morant has been the Grizzlies’ most dynamic player. He has, however, missed a lot of games because of his ban and time away from the court. He resumed where he left off as soon as he re-entered the court. He had a hand injury from a bad fall in the previous game, and you could see him clutching it in agony. He is listed by the Grizzlies as questionable for the game against the Lakers.
