Ja Morant is making good progress in his recovery from a sprained left ankle, according to Grizzlies head coach Tuomas Iisalo. Although Morant missed the preseason finale, he participated in on-court activities, raising hopes for his return in time for the regular season. With Scotty Pippen Jr. sidelined indefinitely and Ty Jerome dealing with a calf injury, Morant’s recovery is crucial for the Grizzlies’ backcourt depth.
