SAN ANTONIO — Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant is unlikely to play against the San Antonio Spurs on Friday, Grizzlies coach Taylor Jenkins said. Morant, who is dealing with right foot soreness, was listed as questionable on Thursday's injury report ahead of a nationally televised contest against the Spurs.

Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant is no longer eligible for regular season NBA awards. Morant, who is out on Friday night due to right foot soreness, is missing his 18th game of the season. NBA players must play in at least 65 games to qualify for awards such as All-NBA status or the MVP award.

The Memphis Grizzlies are 26-15 despite star point guard Ja Morant playing just 24 games. Availability has been an issue for Morant at times in his NBA career,
