The Memphis Grizzlies may be facing a setback as they prepare to take on the Denver Nuggets, with star player Ja Morant unexpectedly appearing on the team’s injury report. Morant is currently listed as questionable for the upcoming game due to an illness.

Illness has been circulating among NBA players lately, leading to various absences of different durations. Most players affected typically miss one to two games before returning to action.

The Grizzlies have been on a remarkable winning streak, going undefeated in the four games since Morant’s return from suspension. However, if Morant is unable to play against the Nuggets, it could pose a challenge for the team as they face one of the league’s hottest squads. The Nuggets have secured five consecutive victories and present a formidable test for the Grizzlies.

This season has been plagued by injuries for the Grizzlies, and while Morant’s appearance on the injury report is illness-related rather than injury-related, it adds to the team’s string of unfortunate luck throughout the year.

Fans hope that Morant will be able to take the court, as a highly anticipated matchup between him and Nikola Jokic would provide an exciting spectacle. Both teams have been on streaks of success in recent weeks, making the potential clash even more thrilling to watch.
