Nikola Jokic becomes the third player in NBA history to average a triple-double for a season, as the Nuggets chip away at the Grizzlies’ game-long lead to finish big.

This is the box score for the NBA game between the Memphis Grizzlies and the Denver Nuggets on Friday, April 11, 2025, at Ball Arena in Denver, Colorado.

The Memphis Grizzlies acknowledged Jaylen Wells’ multiple injuries stemming from his recent hard fall and addressed his availability status.

While the range of possible remains wide, the most likely scenario would now find the Memphis Grizzlies in eighth place in the West, traveling to fight for a chance to make the NBA playoffs.

Ja Morant and Anthony Edwards each delivered all night. But the Grizzlies took the costly loss, one that will now make it much harder to avoid falling into the NBA’s play-in tournament.

Are the five games since interim coach Tuomas Iisalo took over progress or variance and what are the latest player trends for the Memphis Grizzlies? 

“The way they have accepted me and the proposed tinkering on both ends of the floor has been, to me, a very encouraging sign,” Memphis Grizzlies interim head coach Tuomas Iisalo said.
