Let's deep dive in the injury reports of the Grizzlies and the Mavericks ahead of their regular season finale on Sunday.
The Memphis Grizzlies will be up against the Dallas Mavericks in their final clash of the regular season 2024-25. The Grizzlies will head into the game on the back of a 117-109 loss to the Denver Nuggets. The Mavs, on the flip side, took down the Toronto Raptors 124-102. Both Grizzlies and Mavericks have booked the play-in spot, and while Memphis is in eighth spot, the latter are on the tenth.
The Grizzlies have recorded back-to-back two losses and went down in nine of their last 13 games. They are currently maintaining a tally of 47-34. On the other hand, the Mavericks have had one of the toughest seasons. In the beginning of the year, they traded Luka Doncic to Anthony Davis, and as luck would have it, things have only gone downhill from there. They lost several stars to injuries, but managed to grab a postseason spot.
With only one game remaining for both Grizzlies and the Mavericks before the irregular season winds down, let’s dive into their respective injury reports-
