The Memphis Grizzlies and Golden State Warriors are set to renew their Play-In Tournament rivalry tonight, battling for the seventh seed in the Western Conference. The big question on everyone’s mind: will Ja Morant be available for the Grizzlies?
Is Ja Morant playing tonight against the Golden State Warriors? (April 15, 2025)
Ja Morant, who missed the regular-season finale against the Dallas Mavericks due to a lingering shoulder injury, has been removed from the Memphis Grizzlies' injury report. This means the star point guard is likely to suit up for tonight’s high-stakes matchup.
Ja Morant’s presence is crucial for Memphis. Despite playing only 50 games this season, he remains the team’s leading scorer and playmaker, averaging:
- 23.2 points per game
- Over 7 assists per game
His ability to perform in clutch moments could be the difference-maker against a Warriors team that has struggled in play-in games historically.
Golden State Warriors’ play-in struggles and home-court concerns
The Warriors hold an unfortunate 0-3 record in play-in tournament games. Even with home-court advantage tonight, their recent form at Chase Center raises doubts:
- Lost 3 of their last 5 regular-season games at home
- Defeated by the Memphis Grizzlies in the 2021 play-in for the eighth seed
Memphis will look to replicate their 2021 success, but this time with higher stakes—the winner secures the seventh seed and avoids the elimination bracket.

While Ja Morant’s return is a boost, Memphis will be without several important contributors:
Player
Injury
Status
Wells’ absence is particularly significant. The rookie had emerged as a reliable starter, averaging:
- 10.4 points per game
- Over 3 rebounds per game
His defensive presence will be missed against a Warriors team that features Stephen Curry, who dropped 52 points the last time these teams met.
Can the Memphis Grizzlies overcome the Golden State Warriors again?
The last play-in meeting between these two teams saw Morant score 36 points, but it wasn’t enough to stop Curry’s dominance. This time, Memphis will hope for a different outcome with a healthier Morant leading the charge.
Key factors to watch:
- Morant’s shoulder condition and stamina
- Warriors’ ability to break their play-in curse
- Memphis’ defense compensating for missing personnel
With tip-off approaching, all eyes will be on whether Morant can deliver another memorable play-in performance—or if Curry and the Warriors will finally secure their first win in the tournament.
