The NBA requires players to participate in 65 games for selection to the All-NBA teams, MVP, and other awards.

Morant has had several injuries over the past two seasons, and hopefully, this doesn't become a regular thing for one of the young, budding stars in the league. It will be interesting to see what his availability looks like closer to game time.

For the second time in three days, the Memphis Grizzlies blew out the San Antonio Spurs at the Frost Bank Center.

The Spurs will be in front of their home fans on Friday, but a look at the spread shows they might need that home-court advantage. They will host the Memphis Grizzlies at 9:30 p.m. ET at Frost Bank Center.
