Yes Morant’s injury status for Grizzlies warriors

Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant has been sidelined with a posterior hip subluxation and pelvic strain. The star point guard suffered that injury against the Los Angeles Lakers, and the Grizzlies announced one official update after that game:

“While attempting to catch a lob in the third quarter of the Nov. 6 game against the Los Angeles Lakers, Morant was destabilized mid-air by a Lakers player, causing him to fall into extreme right hip flexion. Imaging revealed a posterior hip subluxation (without dislocation) along with multiple associated grade 1 pelvic muscle strains. Morant is considered week-to-week and updates will be provided as needed.”

There have been no more updates from the Grizzlies beyond this one, but Morant has officially been ruled out for Friday night’s game against the Golden State Warriors.

Needless to say, this is a big loss for the Grizzlies as they try to stay in the Western Conference playoff picture. No stranger to injuries, the Grizzlies dealt with several last season and have been hit with them again this season.

Although Memphis has been incredibly unlucky with injury luck, it still has several high-level rotation players who perform well on a nightly basis. This will make head coach Taylor Jenkins’ job very tough once the Grizzlies get fully healthy, as there are several players who deserve regular rotation minutes.

For now, the Grizzlies are focused on staying afloat without Morant, who hopefully won’t be sidelined much longer. This matchup against the 9-2 Warriors will be a tough one without the star point guard.
