SAN ANTONIO — Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant is unlikely to play against the San Antonio Spurs on Friday, Grizzlies coach Taylor Jenkins said.

Taylor Jenkins started coaching in a locker room that felt like a glorified janitor’s closet. Now he’s coaching the NBA’s Memphis Grizzlies.

Sonia Raman will join the defending champions' coaching staff and Taylor Jenkins is excited for what she will bring to the Liberty.

Taylor Jenkins took the blame for the loss. It was nice of him to say. But the Grizzlies real problem may be their inability to handle the best in the West.

Every team has weak points. The goal is to not let them become fatal characteristics. Problems arise when those flaws get accentuated in clutch moments. Identifying how to negate issues before being exposed is a job for Taylor Jenkins but Ja Morant’s captivating yet inconsistent Memphis Grizzlies now know the problem: Turnovers.

Jaylen Wells' running one-legged 3-point shot in the fourth quarter against the Spurs took his Memphis Grizzlies teammates by surprise.

Taylor Jenkins explained why the Grizzlies went without Ja Morant, Desmond Bane, or Jaren Jackson Jr. late in a loss to the Rockets.

Jaylen Wells registered his first double-double on Monday to help lead the Grizzlies to a win over the Mavericks to snap a two-game skid.

The Memphis Grizzlies ruled out star Ja Morant for Friday night's game against the San Antonio Spurs due to right foot soreness. Morant missed his 18th game this season, making him ineligible to win regular-season NBA awards;

Grizzlies head coach Taylor Jenkins gave an update on Morant's injury after they ruled him out of Friday's contest due to right foot soreness. "He's been nursing a foot sprain since the Houston home game," Jenkins said. "Last game against the Spurs, he got tangled up, had a little collision there with a Spurs player that really worsened it."

Santi Aldama scored a career-high 29 points and the Memphis Grizzlies rolled to a 140-112 victory over San Antonio on Friday night, handing the Spurs their largest losing margin of the season even with Ja Morant sidelined by a foot injury.

Ja Morant, Jaren Jackson Jr., Zach Edey, and the Grizzlies could all but assure a top-six seed with this January schedule.
