On Monday, the Grizzlies announced that Ja Morant was diagnosed with a Grade 1 AC joint sprain in his right shoulder, giving him a week-to-week status moving forward. Morant has already missed 13 games this season, and Memphis will likely be without him for some of the marquee matchups sneaking up on their schedule.

The Phoenix Suns ended a four-game losing skid with a 109-99 win over the Philadelphia 76ers last night. It was the debut of the new Suns starting five, with Bradley Beal and Jusuf Nurkic being benched ahead of the game.

Bradley Beal made the most of an unfamiliar role Monday, scoring 25 points in his first game off the bench in nine years. Beal scored 20 points in the second half as Phoenix overcame an early 12-point deficit to snap a four-game losing streak with a 109-99 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers.
