On November 9, the Memphis Grizzlies announced that Ja Morant sustained a hip injury and a Grade 1 pelvic muscle strain during a game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He is currently considered week-to-week, with hopes for an update soon.
Head coach Taylor Jenkins shared that Morant is engaged in stationary work and will undergo re-evaluation next week. Despite Morant's absence, the Grizzlies have remained competitive, securing significant victories against the Wizards and Trail Blazers.
The team faces a tough matchup against the Golden State Warriors, but they welcome back Desmond Bane, which could bolster their efforts.
