SAN ANTONIO — 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.

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.

Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant flew in for a highlight dunk over 7-foot-3 Spurs star Victor Wembanyama. Unfortunately, it didn't count.

Santi Aldama scored a career-high 29 points and the Memphis Grizzlies rolled to a 140-112 victory over San Antonio on Friday night, handing the Spurs their largest losing margin of the season even wit

San Antonio Spurs superstar Victor Wembanyama was the recipient of the vicious one-handed dunk late in the fourth quarter against the Memphis Grizzlies and, for two seconds, got Malik Beasley and Jakob Poeltl off the hook after they were posterized previously by Morant.

Memphis Grizzlies forward Santi Aldama put together a strong performance on both ends in Friday's win against the San Antonio Spurs.

Ja Morant is back doing Ja Morant things. He connected on one of his signature ferocious slam dunks, this time over the 7' 3" phenom Victor Wembanyama. However, the dunk went down after the whistle and didn't actually count.
