MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Grizzlies superstar Ja Morant will play in Friday night's Western Conference elimination game against the Dallas Mavericks.
Morant is in the Grizzlies' starting lineup, which the team announced 30 minutes before opening tip as he finished his individual warmup.
The sprained right ankle he suffered against the Golden State Warriors in a play-in game loss earlier this week typically would sideline him during the regular season, sources told ESPN.
He underwent an MRI on Thursday to determine the severity of the sprain and received an injection to attempt to alleviate the pain, sources said.
