Morant Sidelined: Grizzlies Face Injury Woes
25 Nov
Summary
- Ja Morant is out with a right calf strain.
- Morant will miss at least six games due to the injury.
- The Grizzlies have lost six of their first 17 games.
The Memphis Grizzlies are facing significant challenges early in the season, with a notable impact from player injuries. Star point guard Ja Morant is currently out due to a right calf strain, an injury that is expected to keep him sidelined for an extended period, marking at least six missed games.
This absence, coupled with other health setbacks, has contributed to the Grizzlies' difficult start. The team has lost six of their initial 17 games, placing them near the bottom of the league in terms of overall health and performance. Morant's current statistics, averaging 17.9 points and 7.6 assists, highlight his importance to the team's offense.
Morant is slated for reevaluation in two weeks, with the hope for a return to play and improved shooting percentages. However, the team's current trajectory raises concerns about their potential to be a playoff contender without key players healthy and performing at their best.
