• Grizzlies' Ja Morant: Considered week-to-week

  5H ago • By RotoWire

  Morant (hip) is considered week-to-week and doesn't have a specific timetable for his return, the team announced Saturday. Morant was initially diagnosed with extreme right hip flexion, but further imaging later revealed a posterior hip subluxation (without dislocation) and multiple associated Grade 1 pelvic muscle strains. The Grizzlies won't take any risks with the health of their star point guard and will give him all the time he needs to recover and get back to 100 percent. Expect Scotty Pippen, who posted a triple-double in the win over the Wizards on Friday, to continue starting at the point while Morant is sidelined.

• Grizzlies' Ja Morant: Will not play Friday vs. Wizards

  2D ago • By RotoWire

  Morant is out for Friday's game against the Wizards due to right hip soreness. Morant exited Wednesday's win over the Lakers in the third quarter and didn't return. It seems the Grizzlies will be extremely cautious with their star point guard, given his recent injury history. The absence of Morant means Scotty Pippen could get the start at point guard, especially since Marcus Smart (finger) and Desmond Bane (oblique) are ruled out for Friday's game as well. Morant's next chance to play will come against the Trail Blazers on Sunday.

  Morant (hamstring) departed Wednesday's 131-114 win over the Lakers in the third quarter and did not return. He logged 20 points (7-17 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five assists, four rebounds, a steal and a block across 24 minutes before exiting. Morant went up for an alley-oop late in the third period and landed awkwardly before departing the contest with what's been labeled a right hamstring injury. The point guard has missed one of Memphis' nine games this season, and his next chance to play will come Friday against the Wizards.
