Ja Morant Out for Grizzlies with Back Soreness
Ja Morant, the point guard for the Memphis Grizzlies, is dealing with back soreness. He will not be playing for the team due to this injury. This news was reported after he was listed as doubtful in recent days. The injury started on December 19th, and it has kept him from taking the court.
What It Means
This means Ja Morant will be missing games for the Grizzlies. His absence is significant as he averages 21.2 points per game and 8.1 assists per game this season. These numbers show how important he is to the team’s success.
The Grizzlies will need to rely on other players like Marcus Smart and Scotty Pippen Jr. to fill in at point guard. Marcus Smart averages 9.2 points per game while Scotty Pippen Jr. averages 10.2 points per game. The team will have to adjust their strategy without Morant’s playmaking skills on the floor.
