The Grizzlies had struggled in a big way without Morant and are 7-19 in their first 26 games, which has them as the 13th seed in the Western Conference.
They are 4-6 over their last ten games and will play their next game on Thursday when they host Tyrese Haliburton and the Indiana Pacers in Memphis.
On the road, the Grizzlies have gone 6-8 in 14 games, while they are 1-11 in the 12 games they have played on their home floor.
Morant is in his fifth season in the NBA and is coming off a year where he averaged 26.2 points, 5.9 rebounds, 8.1 assists and 1.1 steals per contest while shooting 46.6% from the field and 30.7% from the three-point range in 61 games.
The Grizzlies were the second seed in the Western Conference with a 51-31 record, and lost to LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers in the first round of the NBA playoffs.
