Ja Morant will miss the upcoming game against the Miami Heat due to ongoing shoulder issues. After an impressive performance where he scored 44 points against the Cleveland Cavaliers, concerns arose regarding his right shoulder, which has caused him to miss a total of 24 games this season. Coach Taylor Jenkins indicated that Morant is 'pretty banged up.' With Morant out, the Grizzlies will look to Desmond Bane, Luke Kennard, and Scotty Pippen Jr. to step up in playmaking responsibilities. Additionally, Jaren Jackson Jr. is expected to take on more offensive duties following his recent return from injury. Vince Williams Jr. will also be sidelined with an ankle issue, further impacting the Grizzlies' lineup.
