The Memphis Grizzlies host the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday in one of eight games on the NBA schedule. The Thunder sit atop the Western Conference at 50-11 while Ja Morant's Grizzlies hold the No.

So, when it comes to whether Ja Morant is playing tonight vs. the Thunder, the Grizzlies won't rush their star guard back if he's at risk for further injury. However, overcoming absences for their top two players will be extremely difficult against one of the NBA's top teams.

Grizzlies guard Ja Morant was fined $25,000 for "throwing the game ball into the spectator stands," during Friday's loss to the Knicks.
