The Grizzlies will still release an official injury report ahead of Friday's game against the Utah Jazz, but Morant appears to be trending in the right direction.
The star guard has been sidelined since mid-November with a strained calf.
"He was able to go through the whole practice today, which was encouraging," coach Tuomas Iisalo said. "Now, we'll see how his body responds to it. Then we'll make a decision [Friday]."
Morant, 26, has averaged 17.9 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 7.6 assists over 12 games this season.
The seven-year NBA veteran and two-time All-Star has also been linked to trade rumors following his reported rift with first-year head coach Iisalo.
