Grizzlies Star Morant Sidelined Again with Calf Injury
16 Nov
Summary
- Ja Morant leaves game with right calf soreness
- Morant has missed games due to ankle and suspension
- Grizzlies have lost 7 of last 8 games
On November 16, 2025, Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant was forced to leave the game against the Cleveland Cavaliers in the first quarter due to right calf soreness. This is the latest injury setback for the young star, who had previously missed a game earlier this week with a right ankle injury.
Morant, who entered the game averaging 18.9 points and 8.1 assists per game, scored 7 points and had 2 assists before being removed from the contest. The Grizzlies have struggled of late, losing 7 of their last 8 games, and Morant's absence has been a significant factor in their recent slide.
This is not the first time Morant has dealt with injury issues. He has not played more than 61 games in any of the previous four seasons due to a combination of injuries and team suspensions. The Grizzlies will now have to find a way to weather this latest setback as they look to turn their season around.
