The NBA hopes Morant can play when the two teams meet again in London over the weekend, but Amazon Prime's Udonis Haslem doesn't sound optimistic. During Thursday's NBA on Prime broadcast Haslem said, "When you travel with that much jewelry, you don't plan on playing."

But before the game, NBA commissioner Adam Silver said he was “disappointed” that Memphis’ former All-Star Ja Morant was out for the Berlin portion of the series.

Memphis Grizzlies players Ja Morant and Vince Williams Jr. appeared to have an altercation during a practice at Berlin's Uber Arena on Jan. 14. Morant and Williams were seen by media exchanging words when an assistant coach attempted to separate them. Williams told Morant to go to the back, but the point guard repeatedly stated, "I'm right here."

A hypothetical Tyler Herro–Ja Morant swap could reshape the playoff race and shake up the fantasy basketball landscape ahead of the 2026 NBA Trade Deadline.
