Marcus Smart Out for Grizzlies with Shoulder Soreness
Marcus Smart of the Memphis Grizzlies is dealing with left shoulder soreness. He will not be playing due to this injury. The news confirms that Smart’s status is out, and he won’t take the court for now.
What It Means
This means Marcus Smart will miss some time on the court. His season stats show he averages 9.2 points per game, 2.5 rebounds, and 3.9 assists. These numbers indicate his role in supporting the team both offensively and defensively.
The Grizzlies will need to rely more on Ja Morant, who leads the point guard position with 22 points per game. Scotty Pippen Jr., who averages slightly more points than Smart at 10.3 per game, might also see increased minutes in his absence.
