Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant will not play in Friday’s game at the Denver Nuggets due to illness, the team said.
Memphis is 4-0 since Morant returned from a 25-game suspension to start the season. He is averaging 28.8 points since his debut on Dec. 19, when he capped a 34-point performance by hitting the game-winning shot at New Orleans.
Denver is without Aaron Gordon, who suffered lacerations on his face and hands resulting from dog bites suffered on Christmas.
