Ja Morant listed as doubtful for Memphis Grizzlies hosting Orlando Magic

Ja Morant played just over 29 minutes Sunday in his first start since returning from his NBA suspension. Now the Memphis Grizzlies' star might be sidelined Tuesday at FedExForum.

Morant was listed as doubtful due to right thigh soreness on the team's injury report Monday ahead of facing the Orlando Magic. Doubtful is the second-lowest designation for a player before being listed as out.

Morant came off the bench in his first two games back last week. Against the Hawks on Sunday, he had 27 points, six assists and three rebounds while shooting 9-for-17 from the field. Since he's been back, he's averaged 20.7 points and 6.3 assists in three games, all Grizzlies wins.

If Morant sits, Tyus Jones will start for the 21st time this season. Jones has averaged 17.1 points and 8.0 assists when starting in Morant's place and has eight double-doubles in his past 20 starts.

The Grizzlies' six consecutive wins are the longest current streak in the NBA and their next win guarantees a top-three seed in the Western Conference. The Grizzlies (47-27) are in second place, two games ahead of the Sacramento Kings, while the Magic (32-43) are 13th out of 15 Eastern Conference teams.
