The Grizzlies didn't have Ja Morant on Saturday night, but they found a way to earn a key win over the Pistons.

Ahead of their game against Detroit, the Grizzlies made an announcement regarding star guard Ja Morant that does not bode well for them. Morant has appeared in four consecutive games for the Grizzlies following a six-game absence. However, the Grizzlies have announced that Morant will be out of action against the Pistons due to an illness.

Carmelo Anthony criticized the Memphis Grizzlies for not effectively leveraging Ja Morant's skills, arguing that their current strategy doesn't suit Morant's playing style. This comes amid Morant's recent controversies and NBA fines for his finger-gun gestures during games.
