MEMPHIS - The Memphis Grizzlies need one victory to reach the National Basketball Association (NBA) playoffs and there is no telling whether their best player will be on the floor.
Star point guard Ja Morant missed practice on April 17 because of a right ankle injury, and will be a game-time decision when Memphis host the Dallas Mavericks in their play-in game on April 18 (April 19, Singapore time).
The winners earn the No. 8 seed in the Western Conference playoffs and will face the top-seeded Oklahoma City Thunder in the first round. The season is over for the losers.
Grizzlies interim coach Tuomas Lisalo is hopeful Morant's ankle will improve leading up to tip-off.
"My feel with him is he'll do absolutely everything in order to play," he said. "If he's physically able to do it, he will do it. It's a legitimate game-time decision."
