Before the game against the Memphis Grizzlies, Los Angeles Lakers head coach JJ Redick called a meeting between his star players.

Suddenly, the team's short- and long-term future is more uncertain than it has been since the start of the Ja Morant era in 2019.

The Rockets, who are 9-1 in their last 10 games, own the No. 2 seed in the West and are in a good spot with just a few weeks left in the regular season. Los Angeles is three games behind the Rockers in the standings, so this will prove to be a crucial game for them.

After missing six games with a hamstring injury, Ja Morant will be available on Saturday night for the Memphis Grizzlies' game against the Lakers.

As for the Grizzlies, star guard Ja Morant has landed on the injury report, but he has seen his injury status upgraded. Morant has been out for multiple games, but could be making his return here against the Lakers.

Austin Reaves discussed the importance of the Los Angeles Lakers beating the Memphis Grizzlies to end their road trip.
