Skeptics of the Memphis Grizzlies sounded an alarm too soon going by a 120-118 win over Kevin Durant’s Phoenix Suns to start a four-game FedEx Forum homestand. The under fire Ja Morant demonstrated not just his scoring prowess but an uncanny ability to “manipulate” games and manufacture wins for his shorthanded squad.

Jaren Jackson Jr., who left Monday's game with an ankle injury, is listed as out with an ankle sprain. He is considered week-to-week with a Grade 2 ankle sprain, the Grizzlies announced Tuesday evening.

In a game the Memphis Grizzlies needed to win, three of the team's longest-tenured players stepped up with big performances.
