Grizzlies say Ja Morant 'legitimate game-time' call vs. Mavs

Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant missed Thursday's practice and will be a game-time decision for Friday night's play-in game against the Dallas Mavericks that will determine the Western Conference's 8-seed.

Morant injured his right ankle in Tuesday's play-in loss to the Golden State Warriors when he stepped on Buddy Hield's foot and was fouled by Quinten Post with 4:25 remaining in the third quarter.

Morant limped off but got up and finished the three-point play. He then went to the bench nursing the ankle, before returning early in the fourth quarter.
