Is Ja Morant Playing? Final Grizzlies vs Mavericks Injury Report

In this story:
For the 2024-25 regular-season finale, the Memphis Grizzlies are hosting the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday afternoon. The Grizzlies are sitting in eighth place in the Western Conference with a 47-34 record, just one game behind the sixth-place Golden State Warriors and Minnesota Timberwolves.

The Grizzlies have listed a blistering ten players on their injury report for Sunday's game: Ja Morant, Desmond Bane, Jaren Jackson Jr., Santi Aldama, Brandon Clarke, Zach Edey, Luke Kennard, Scotty Pippen Jr., Zyon Pullin, and Jaylen Wells.
Ja Morant is listed OUT with right shoulder soreness.
