In the Play-In Tournament for 2025, the Memphis Grizzlies and Golden State Warriors will meet in the Western Conference’s most-watched game. The team will face off against the Houston Rockets in the first round of the playoffs and claim the seventh seed.
With their loss against the Clippers during overtime on Sunday, the Warriors qualified for the Play-In Tournament for the second year in a row.
Although they made a flawless recovery since beating Jimmy Butler, Steph Curry and the gang could not gain automatic qualification. The tiebreaker provision provided Steve Kerr’s team the home-court advantage.
On the other hand, the Grizzlies’ last two weeks have been quite eventful due to their head coach’s firing and their up-and-down play. Despite all that, they are just one win away from clinching the Western No. 7 position.
Despite having a 2-0 Play-In record, Memphis has dropped its last five games at Chase Centre. The matchup between Stephen Curry and Ja Morant would be intense.

Injury report for the Golden State Warriors.
As Curry, Green, and Butler aren’t listed on the injury report, the Golden State Warriors will enter the Play-In round with their roster intact. Following his scepticism against the Clippers, Stephen Curry’s status has been upgraded.
When the Trail Blazers played them, the veteran guard showed apparent discomfort after jamming his right thumb.
Following his fall after colliding with Norman Powell on Sunday, Draymond Green also headed to the locker room but returned with less than two minutes left in the first quarter. Jimmy Butler is good to go on Tuesday following his assertion that he took a knee to Leonard’s thigh under the basket.
Memphis Grizzlies: Injury Report
- Zyon Pullin (G): Out
- Jaylen (F): Out
- Brandon Clarke (PF): Out
Brandon Clarke and Jaylen Wells missed the remainder of the season due to injury. Zyon Pullin will not play in this game, having played just three games so far this season.
The scrubbing of Ja Morant from the injury report provided the Grizzlies with a big boost before their critical journey to San Francisco.
He was not included in the Grizzlies’ win against the Mavs in their regular-season finale. Because of the injury, his status was downgraded from doubtful to out.
