Memphis Grizzlies defeat Orlando Magic in home opener: Final score, highlights

There's no time to rest for the Memphis Grizzlies. A day after losing 128-108 on the road against the Houston Rockets, the Grizzlies are back in Memphis for their home opener.

Memphis (1-1) will host the Orlando Magic (2-0) on Saturday night for their third game in four days.

The quick turnaround has led to a crowded injury report. In addition to GG Jackson (foot surgery), Vince Williams Jr. (shin reaction) and Cam Spencer (ankle) being out, the status of three players are up in the air. John Konchar (right foot soreness) is listed as doubtful, while Ja Morant (right thigh soreness) and Jaren Jackson Jr. (left hamstring strain) are both questionable.

If Jackson plays, he would be making his season debut. He also did not play in the preseason.

Orlando has been one of the NBA's most impressive teams in the early going. The Magic dominated the Miami Heat in a 19-point road win, and they defeated the Brooklyn Nets by 15 points at home Friday night.

Defensive standout Jonathan Isaac is listed as questionable. Orlando has a talented wing pairing in Franz Wagner and Paolo Banchero, who pace the team in scoring.
