Ja Morant Out for Grizzlies with Right Shoulder Injury
Ja Morant of the Memphis Grizzlies is dealing with a right AC joint sprain. He has been ruled out and will not take the court for the team. The injury has kept him sidelined since December 27, 2024, and he is considered week-to-week in his recovery.
What It Means
This injury is a setback for both Ja Morant and the Memphis Grizzlies. Morant has been an important player for the team, averaging 21.2 points per game this season. His absence means that other players will need to step up in his place.
The Grizzlies will likely rely on Scotty Pippen Jr., who ranks second in their point guard depth chart. Pippen Jr. averages 11 points per game and plays around 22.8 minutes each game. The team faces the Houston Rockets on January 9th, and they will hope to manage without their star point guard.
