Taylor Jenkins on Ja Morant:“He’s doing great. He’s progressing really well. We’ve ramped him up over the last week or so. He’s getting close. He did 5-on-5 for the first time today. That’s really encouraging. He responded well afterward.” – 7:42 PM

Coach Jenkins said Ja Morant did 5v5 for the first time today. He is doing great and definitely “getting close”.
The team will be smart about his return but Jenkins did not rule out the possibility of Morant returning for one of it not both of the last two games of the season. – 7:37 PM

Ja Morant participated in 5-on-5 work, per T. Jenkins, and is progressing nicely. Might be able to play in one of these last games. – 7:35 PM

The highly disappointing Lakers will miss the playoffs for the first time since 2019.
The Spurs are in the play-in tournament for the 2nd season in a row after losing to Ja Morant and Memphis in the first round last season.
The Spurs have missed the playoffs the last 2 years. – 1:00 AM

We could see some order of Giannis, Joker, Embiid, Luka for the next couple years. Jayson Tatum & Ja Morant are mostly like Americans to be the next MVP. – 11:59 PM

More on this storyline
Mark Giannotto: Taylor Jenkins said Ja Morant was a full participant in Memphis Grizzlies practice today ahead of road trip to Utah and Denver, although the team didn’t do any full contact work. Plan is still to be re-evaluated by medical staff mid-week. -via Twitter @mgiannotto / April 4, 2022
Drew Hill: Ja Morant is not with the team tonight. Jenkins said they set up and appointment for his rehab. Morant just retweeted his Lion King Hakuna Maratha “no worries” tweet from yesterday. Again, they expect him to be back for the playoffs. -via Twitter @DrewHill_DM / March 24, 2022
Drew Hill: Taylor Jenkins said he does not have concerns about Ja Morant being rusty for the playoffs. He said their ramp up process typically helps to eliminate that. -via Twitter @DrewHill_DM / March 24, 2022
