The Phoenix Suns and Memphis Grizzlies revealed that two of their stars, Kevin Durant and Ja Morant, will be game-time decisions for tonight’s game. Both of their statuses will likely be revealed 30 minutes before tip-off.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Durant has missed the last three games due to a right hamstring strain and was listed as questionable for tonight. Coach Frank Vogel then said the team wants to see Durant test out his injury pregame, who added that he met with the medical team this morning.
The Suns did reveal that Eric Gordon will miss his second-straight game due to right knee soreness after originally being listed as questionable.
“It’s soreness, just waiting for it to calm down,” Vogel said of Gordon’s injury.
Morant was also questionable with left shoulder soreness after playing in Memphis’ last five games. The Suns are 2-0 so far this season against the Grizzlies, but have not yet played them when they have Morant. Since getting Morant back from his 25-game suspension to begin the season, the Grizzlies are 6-3 in games he has played in.
Vince Williams Jr. will also be a game-time decision for Memphis due to left foot soreness after missing the last two games.
The Suns ruled out Bol Bol, who suffered a right ankle sprain in Friday’s victory over the Heat, Nassir Little (left knee soreness) and Damion Lee (right meniscus surgery) yesterday.
