Ja Morant was able to shoot and dribble during Memphis Grizzlies practice Tuesday and is a game-time decision for Game 2 vs. the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday.

Grizzlies head coach Taylor Jenkins provided the update to reporters. Morant left Sunday’s Game 1 after a hard fall on his right hand and didn’t return. Jenkins said on Tuesday that an MRI showed aggravation of bruising on Morant’s hand from in injury initially sustained in the last week of the regular season against the Milwaukee Bucks.
