The Memphis Grizzlies confirmed that star guard Ja Morant has suffered a posterior hip subluxation and multiple Grade 1 pelvic muscle strains following a hard fall during a game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He is expected to be out week-to-week.

Morant's absence is a significant blow to the Grizzlies, as he was averaging 20.6 points, five rebounds, and 9.1 assists per game. The team's performance drastically drops when he is off the court, highlighting his crucial role.

While the Grizzlies managed to secure a win without him, the potential impact of his injury on their playoff aspirations cannot be underestimated, especially in a competitive Western Conference.
