Ja Morant Unexpectedly Added to Injury Report vs. Nuggets

In this story:
The Memphis Grizzlies are 4-0 since Ja Morant returned from suspension, but they may be without him when they face the Denver Nuggets on Thursday night. The team has released their injury report for this game, and Morant has been listed as questionable with an illness.
A lot of players are sick right now in the NBA, as an illness has been going around the league. Players are missing various amounts of time due to these illnesses, but it has primarily been a 1-2 game absence for most players who come down with it.
One of the hottest teams in basketball right now, the Grizzlies certainly want to keep this momentum rolling. The Nuggets are also one of the hottest teams in the league, having won five-straight games, so they will be a very tough test for the Grizzlies.
It has truly been a nightmare season for the Grizzlies from an injury standpoint, and while Morant's appearance on the injury report is of course not injury related, it is another example of bad luck for a Grizzlies team that has had nothing but bad luck this year.
Hopefully Morant is able to play, as the star matchup between himself and Nikola Jokic would be a lot of fun to watch, especially with both teams streaking the way they have been over the last week.
