Is Ja Morant playing tonight against Minnesota Timberwolves? Latest injury update for Grizzlies' All-Star candidate (Jan. 20)

Ja Morant's injury-prone season has seen him miss 18 games and lose his eligibility for NBA awards. The Memphis Grizzlies superstar is dealing with a new setback of late and missed Friday's 140-112 win over the San Antonio Spurs. After dealing with thigh, hip, knee, back and shoulder injuries, Morant is dealing with a right foot ailment.

The Grizzlies are in action during Monday's early slate, and speculation continues to grow about Morant's status. The Grizzlies have officially listed him as questionable, citing a right foot soreness injury. It's the same issue that sidelined him against the Spurs. Morant will likely be a game-time decision.

Grizzlies coach Taylor Jenkins said his star player was playing through the injury for a couple of games. Morant last played on Wednesday, so he has received significant rest since. He could be likely to suit up, unlike Friday. Morant carried a questionable status in that contest before being ruled out closer to the game.
