Two of the most electrifying players in the NBA are set to face off in a matchup between the Grizzlies and Pelicans on Friday.
The top two picks in the 2019 NBA Draft, Zion Williamson and Ja Morant will go head-to-head for the first time this season after Williamson missed their contest last week due to injury.
Williamson recently returned from a foot ailment that caused him to miss three games and is expected to be available for this contest. He did not have a minutes restriction upon his return but only needed 23 minutes of action, scoring nine points in the Pelicans' 45-point win over the Warriors.
There was a chance Morant was going to miss this contest after recently suffering an ankle sprain, but the All-Star guard has surprisingly already returned to action because he heals like a "cyborg," to use his own words.
Morant has continued to take his game up a notch, averaging a career-high 28.9 points to go with 7.0 assists over his first 15 games of the season.
