Grizzlies vs Raptors live score updates, highlights: Ja Morant, Memphis at home

On By Littum

The Memphis Grizzlies got an extra day to wash off a tough 114-110 loss Monday night against the Los Angeles Clippers. The Grizzlies (20-10) are back in action against the Toronto Raptors on Thursday night.

This is a game the Grizzlies should be expected to win. Toronto (7-23) has the third-worst record in the NBA and has been hit hard by injuries.

Memphis is not completely healthy, but several impact players like Ja Morant, Jaren Jackson Jr. and Desmond Bane are available. The Grizzlies will be without Marcus Smart (right index finger), Jay Huff (ankle), Vince Williams Jr. (ankle) and GG Jackson.

Raptors coach Darko Rajakovic is the former assistant manager under Grizzlies coach Taylor Jenkins. Rajakovic was particularly instrumental in the development and success of Desmond Bane. He left the Grizzlies for the Raptors job after the 2023 season.

The Grizzlies are on the first leg of a back-to-back before traveling to New Orleans for a Friday night game.

Stay tuned for live updates.
