The Memphis Grizzlies are hosting the Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday in the second game of their three-game regular season series. After losing four straight games to the Timberwolves last season, the Grizzlies won a thrilling game on January 11 against them. It was a moment that saw Morant play hero.

The most exciting part of Monday's matchup will always be seeing Ja Morant facing off against Anthony Edwards. The two are some of the most competitive, most athletic, and biggest trash-talking players in the current NBA.

Both teams have their fair share of players listed on the injury report but the Grizzlies may be at a disadvantage with their report. The Grizzlies have seven players listed on the report: Ja Morant, Zach Edey, Marcus Smart, Yuki Kawamura, Zyon Pullin, Cam Spencer, and Vince Williams Jr.

Ja Morant is currently listed as questionable with right foot soreness.
