As a team, the Grizzles were too big, too strong and too fast, especially for a Raptors squad that was without three of its starters in R.J. Barrett, Immanuel Quickley and most importantly Jakob Poeltl. In turn, the outcome in Toronto gave Memphis its 10th win over the last 11 games.

Taylor Jenkins explained how the Grizzlies were going to juggle Ja Morant's injury concerns through the NBA All-Star break.

Grizzlies star guard Ja Morant has missed the last two games for the Memphis Grizzlies. The last game he played in was on January 27, when the Grizzlies were soundly defeated by the Knicks by a score of 143-106.
