Ja Morant Questionable for Grizzlies’ Game with Thunder on December 29th Due to Shoulder Injury
Ja Morant, the point guard for the Memphis Grizzlies, is currently dealing with a right shoulder injury. His status is questionable for the upcoming game against the Oklahoma City Thunder on December 29th. This injury comes after he recently returned from back soreness that kept him out of games earlier in December.
What It Means
If Ja Morant misses the game, it will be a significant loss for the Grizzlies. He is averaging 21 points per game and leads his team in assists with an average of 7.9 per game. His shooting percentage stands at 44.4% from the field and 30.4% from three-point range.
The team may have to rely more on Marcus Smart or Scotty Pippen Jr., who are next in line on the depth chart at point guard. Smart averages 9.2 points per game while Pippen Jr. contributes 10.8 points per game. The Grizzlies will need these players to step up if Morant cannot play.
