Golden State Warriors vs. Memphis Grizzlies Injury Report

In this story:
Still away from the Memphis Grizzlies for at least four more games, Ja Morant will not play in this marquee matchup vs. the Golden State Warriors on Thursday night. The Grizzlies will also be without Steven Adams, Vince Williams Jr., and Brandon Clarke. Jake LaRavia is listed as questionable for Memphis with back soreness.
The Warriors also have injuries to report, as they will be without Andrew Wiggins, Gary Payton II, and Ryan Rollins. Andre Iguodala, Jonathan Kuminga, and Kevon Looney are all probable. Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green are all available to play.
There is a real chance that this game has some sparks, as Draymond Green recently destroyed Dillon Brooks during an episode of his podcast. Green's comments, which included calling Brooks an "idiot" and a "clown", were in response to comments that Brooks made in an interview, where he made it clear he did not like Green or the Warriors.
Sitting on 16 technical fouls, Brooks will have to be careful, as he has already been suspended one game for exceeding the maximum technical foul limit. Green is in a similar spot at 15 technical fouls, meaning his next tech will be a suspension as well. This could impact how the two players go about this contentious matchup, but there will undoubtedly be some extra emotions between two teams that already didn't like each other.
