BOSTON (AP) — Memphis star Ja Morant sat out the Grizzlies' game Wednesday night against the Boston Celtics because of a right ankle injury.
Grizzlies coach Tuomas Iisalo said Iisalo said Morant was injured Tuesday night in a loss at New York. Morant played 34 minutes in that game, finishing with 16 points and 10 assists.
Morant appeared in five straight games following a one-game suspension Nov. 2 at Toronto for what the Grizzlies said was conduct detrimental to the team.
Ty Jerome also remained out Wednesday because of a strained right calf.
