The Memphis Grizzlies are on the first stop of their five-game road trip and their first opponents are the Sacramento Kings on Monday night.

This will be the third and final meeting between the two teams this regular season. Currently, the series is tied at one game apiece, and the winner of Monday's game will take the series. The most recent match on January 3 went in favor of the Sacramento Kings.

It was a tightly contested game ending in a final score of 138-133, which saw Jaylen Wells lead the Grizzlies in scoring, totaling 30 points, 5 rebounds, and 2 assists on 69/89/0 shooting splits. Ja Morant was missing in the last meeting and, unfortunately, is on the injury report for Monday's game as well.

The Grizzlies have five players listed on their injury report: Ja Morant, Scotty Pippen Jr., Santi Aldama, Yuki Kawamura, and Zyon Pullin.

Ja Morant is listed as OUT with left hamstring soreness.

Ja Morant is out tomorrow against the Kings due to left hamstring soreness. He’s recently been battling through right shoulder soreness. Now, another obstacle after Morant was playing his best basketball of 2025.
