Grizzlies G Ja Morant Week-to-Week with Ankle Injury
Morant joins two other starters sidelined by injuries as the Grizzlies face uncertainty ahead of their season opener, with Morant averaging 23.2 points last season.
- On Sunday, Memphis Grizzlies star guard Ja Morant sprained his left ankle during practice and is considered week-to-week, a team spokesperson told Damichael Cole on Monday.
- The Grizzlies said Morant now joins injured starters including Jaren Jackson Jr. and Zach Edey as they begin preseason on Monday ahead of their season opener Oct. 22.
- Since 2021-22, Ja Morant has played in only 56% of 328 regular-season games and missed at least 15 games each season, never appearing in more than 67 games in a season.
- The injury will almost certainly keep Ja Morant out for all five preseason games, and Scotty Pippen Jr. is expected to run the point while Memphis leans on him after trading Desmond Bane this summer.
- Jaren Jackson Jr. is recovering from July surgery with a four-to-six-week timetable, while Zach Edey, center, is not expected back until mid-to-late November, making it possible both miss the season start.
