Memphis Grizzlies score vs. New Orleans Pelicans: live score updates

The Memphis Grizzlies are back in action tonight against the New Orleans Pelicans, and fans should get to see one of the most anticipated battles from the 2019 NBA Draft.

Ja Morant and Zion Williamson are not listed on the injury report of tonight's matchup. Both players are expected to play against one another for the first time since 2021.

Morant and Williamson are active, but key players on each roster will be unavailable. The Grizzlies (10-8) remain without Desmond Bane, Ziaire Williams and Danny Green. Santi Aldama is doubtful to play due to a non-COVID illness, and John Konhcar (left calf soreness) is questionable.

The Pelicans (11-7) will be without noted Grizzlies killer C.J. McCollum (health and safety protocols). McCollum took over in the second half and finished with 30 points and nine assists in a 113-102 Pelicans win against the Grizzlies earlier this season.

Among Morant, Williamson and Brandon Ingram, the floor will still feature three players who have made all-star games. That doesn't include Jaren Jackson Jr., and the Steven Adams versus Jonas Valanciunas matchup.
