The Memphis Grizzlies are the third seed in the Western Conference with a 25-14 record, with Ja Morant being the key to their success and future. After a five-game absence due to a shoulder injury, Morant delivered the game-winning moment against the Minnesota Timberwolves in his second match back.

The Grizzlies escaped Minnesota with a 127-125 win, led by Jaren Jackson Jr. with 33 points. Many fans went into Saturday's game looking forward to a highly-anticipated matchup between Ja Morant and Anthony Edwards, but those fans were likely disappointed.
