NBA's official injury report
Morant is off to a fantastic start to the new season averaging 32.6 points, 4.4 rebounds and 6.8 assists per contest.
In a win over the Houston Rockets, he had 49 points and eight assists.
The former second overall pick has turned himself into one of the best players in the entire NBA, and the Grizzlies are currently 4-1 in their first five contests of the season.
In addition to the Rockets, the Grizzlies have also defeated Sacramento Kings, Brooklyn Nets and New York Knicks.
Their most recent win was over the Kings on California on Thursday night.
As for the Jazz, this will be the second night of a back-to-back.
They are coming off a 117-101 loss to Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets in Colorado on Friday night.
Even so, the Jazz still come into the game with a 4-2 record in their first six contests.
The franchise entered a rebuilding mode over the offseason when they traded away All-Star Rudy Gobert (to the Minnesota Timberwolves) and Donovan Mitchell (to the Cleveland Cavaliers).
However, they have started the season strong and look like a team who will be a tough matchup on any given night.
Lauri Markkanen has led the way averaging 21.2 points per contest on 49.0% shooting from the field.
