Ja Morant Injury Update: January 17 vs. the Spurs

Ja Morant ($8,500) played 32 minutes on Wednesday night, finishing with 21 points, four rebounds, 12 assists and two steals. He is officially listed as questionable for Friday’s contest against the San Antonio Spurs.

There’s been no mention of when the injury occurred or if it’s just soreness after a game. Late in the first half of Wednesday’s game, though, Morant did tweak his ankle running back on defense, so that may have something to do with it.

If Morant is unable to go, then Scotty Pippen Jr. ($3,900) would likely get the start.

Stan joined DraftKings in December of 2020. It was a glorious time, except for that whole COVID thing, when we got Madden streams and boisterous bat flips from the KBO. I was brought on board to bring some West Coast flavor. I especially love hoops, and most of my content is in that arena. When I walk along the beach, strumming my guitar, the beat that I hear is not one of crashing waves. No, it is the beat of the ball bouncing off the hardwood with highs provided by the squeaks of the sneakers. Ball is life.
