Will Ja Morant play tonight against the Phoenix Suns? Latest update on the Memphis Grizzlies star's injury report (March 10, 2025)

The Memphis Grizzlies are gearing up for a pivotal showdown against the Phoenix Suns on Monday, March 10, at FedExForum, and they’ll have their star guard Ja Morant fully fit and ready to play. Morant, who has been in strong form recently, averaging 15.6 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 4.7 assists over the last 20 games, will be a key factor as Memphis looks to solidify its playoff position.

Ja Morant is in mentioned in the projected starters and is absent from the team;s injury report. The Grizzlies, currently 40-24, are dealing with several injuries to key players, but Morant’s availability provides a significant boost. Jaren Jackson Jr. (ankle), Santi Aldama (calf), Zyon Pullin (knee), and Luke Kennard (back) are all listed as out, leaving the team shorthanded. Jackson’s absence is particularly notable, as he’s been a standout performer with 19.6 points and 1.4 blocks per game in recent outings.

With Morant on the floor, the Grizzlies will rely on his dynamic playmaking and scoring to fill the void left by their injured teammates. Desmond Bane, the team’s leading scorer at 18.9 points per game, will also play a crucial role alongside Morant. Bane’s ability to stretch the floor and create opportunities has been vital for Memphis, which ranks second in the NBA with 122.7 points per game.
The Suns, sitting at 30-34, are fighting to stay in the playoff picture and will be without Monte Morris (back) and Cody Martin (abdomen), both listed as day-to-day. Phoenix will lean heavily on its star duo of Devin Booker and Kevin Durant. Booker, averaging 25.7 points and 7 assists over the last 20 games, remains the engine of their offense, while Durant’s scoring and versatility provide a constant threat.
Memphis’ rebounding strength, led by Zach Edey’s 7.9 boards per game, could prove decisive against a Suns team that struggles on the glass, ranking 26th in the league with 42.7 rebounds per game. However, the Grizzlies’ defense, which allows 116.7 points per contest (25th in the NBA), will need to step up to contain Phoenix’s high-powered offense.
