Marcus Smart Out for Grizzlies with Finger Injury
Marcus Smart, the point guard for the Memphis Grizzlies, is dealing with a right index finger injury. He will not play in their upcoming games. This news comes after he was already struggling with a left index finger injury earlier this week.
What It Means
This injury means Marcus Smart will miss some time on the court. So far this season, he has been averaging 9.2 points per game and 3.8 assists per game. His shooting percentage is at 37.3% from the field.
The Grizzlies will need to rely more on Ja Morant and Scotty Pippen Jr., who are also point guards on the team. Ja Morant is leading with 21.2 points per game, while Scotty Pippen Jr. averages 10.6 points per game. The team’s depth at point guard should help cover for Smart’s absence.
