Golden State Warriors vs Memphis Grizzlies final injury report (April 1, 2025): Is Ja Morant playing tonight?

The Memphis Grizzlies are in a precarious position after three consecutive losses, risking their automatic playoff spot. With interim coach Tuomas Iisalo struggling to steady the ship, tonight’s clash against the Golden State Warriors could define their season. The Warriors, sitting just half a game behind the Memphis Grizzlies in 6th place, are surging with a 7-3 record in their last 10 games.

Will Ja Morant play tonight against the Golden State Warriors (April 1, 2025)?

The big question looming over FedEx Forum is whether Ja Morant will take the floor. After missing six games with a hamstring injury, Morant made a strong return against the Celtics, posting 26 points, 6 rebounds, and 5 assists while shooting 50% from the field. Despite concerns about his workload, the star guard is confirmed to play tonight.

Memphis Grizzlies injury report: Key updates ahead of Warriors game

Memphis has a nearly healthy roster for this critical matchup, with only two players ruled out:

- Zyon Pullin (Guard) – Day-to-day with a knee issue (final status to be confirmed by 1 pm local time).

- Brandon Clarke (Forward) – Out for the season after receiving an ortho biologic injection in his right knee.

Morant’s availability is a major boost, given his season averages of 22.4 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 7.4 assists per game. His leadership will be crucial against a Warriors team that has been dominant offensively, even without Steph Curry and Jimmy Butler in their last meeting.

Jaren Jackson Jr., who led the Memphis Grizzlies with 23 points and 9 rebounds in their previous loss to Golden State, will also play tonight. His defensive presence will be tested against the Warriors’ high-powered offense.
