The Grizzlies beat the Spurs on Wednesday night at the Frost Bank Center, and they'll meet again on Friday night. San Antonio (19-20) will be looking for revenge after Wednesday's loss, while Memphis (26-15) is looking to finish off the four-game road trip with a win.

Ja Morant was sidelined for the Memphis-San Antonio rematch on Friday night because of a sore right foot, and the Grizzlies guard became ineligible for the NBA's postseason awards after missing his 18th game of the season.

On Wednesday night, the San Antonio Spurs allowed the Memphis Grizzlies to drop 78 points in the second half, losing 126-115. While Devin Vassell bounced back after a couple of slow games and Stephon Castle set a career-high with 26 points, Victor Wembanyama, as usual, dominated the post-game storylines.
