Ja Morant's Status vs. Atlanta Hawks Revealed

Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant has rejuvenated his team in just two games since returning from a 25-game suspension. Memphis is 2-0 since Morant came back, and will look for a third-straight win on Saturday night when they face the Atlanta Hawks. The Grizzlies have released their injury report for this game, and Morant is not listed, meaning he is available to play.

The Grizzlies have a lot of work to do before reentering the Western Conference playoff picture, but they look like a team who is determined to do just that. Going 6-19 in Morant's absence, the Grizzlies dug themselves a big hole, but that was largely due to injuries on top of Morant being out.

Now that Morant is back, the Grizzlies should also be getting Marcus Smart and Luke Kennard back soon as well. Adding these two impactful guards to the rotation will give the Grizzlies some help on both ends with Smart's defense and Kennard's shooting.

The Atlanta Hawks are an interesting team, because while Trae Young is playing as good as anybody in basketball, his team remains very mediocre. At just 12-16, the Hawks are 11th in the Eastern Conference. That said, Young is the type of player who can go off on any night, as he has been doing for a while now.

The Grizzlies and Hawks will begin at 7:30 PM EST.
