Grizzlies' Ja Morant: Considered week-to-week
Ja 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 Memphis 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
Ja 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 Memphis 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.

Grizzlies' Ja Morant: Sniffs triple-double in loss
Ja Morant supplied 14 points (5-16 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds and 11 assists in 29 minutes during Wednesday's 119-106 loss to the Nets.Morant returned from a one-game absence due to a thigh injury, and while his efficiency was subpar at best, he still found a way to impact the game and deliver a quality fantasy line. The star guard finished just two rebounds shy of a triple-double, and while he can have poor shooting performances from time to time, his fantasy impact goes well beyond what he can do as a scorer. Through four games this season, Morant is averaging 19.0 points, 8.3 assists and 3.8 rebounds per game.
