Memphis deserves credit for digging itself out, but OKC is the prize it gets for falling into this hole in the first place.

The Memphis Grizzlies have little time to prep for the top-seeded Oklahoma City Thunder, a team that beat Memphis all four regular-season meetings.

Morant suffered his ankle injury in the third quarter of the Grizzlies' Tuesday play-in loss to the Golden State Warriors. Charania reported that Morant received an injection to combat the swelling in his ankle on Thursday. He sat out practice that day and was a game-time decision on Friday.
