Yes Morant’s final injury status for Grizzlies-Wizards

On By Littum

After a poor 2023-24 season plagued by injuries, the Memphis Grizzlies have bounced back to become one of the hottest teams in the NBA. The Grizzlies have won eight of their last nine games to move to 16-8 and third in the competitive Western Conference.

Despite what their record shows, the Grizzlies have still struggled to stay healthy. The Grizzlies star guard trio of Ja Morant, Desmond Bane and Marcus Smart have already missed a combined 27 games, but Memphis has prevailed to keep winning games.

The Grizzlies head into an easier matchup against the Washington Wizards on Sunday night, but the D.C. squad proved recently that they are not to be taken lightly. The Wizards are coming off a win over the Denver Nuggets despite a 56-point Nikola Jokic explosion.

Grizzlies star point guard Ja Morant has been officially ruled out ahead of Sunday’s matchup in Washington as the two-time NBA All-Star deals with back pain.

Morant joins Desmond Bane, Zach Edey, GG Jackson, Luke Kennard and Vince Williams Jr. on the Grizzlies sideline on Sunday as Memphis heads into a potential trap game against the Wizards.

The Grizzlies are riding high after beating the reigning champion Boston Celtics on the road on Saturday, so they can’t let their guard down against a weaker Wizards squad in the second leg of a back-to-back. Sure, not having Morant is a huge hit, but the Grizzlies have to find a way to win without him on Sunday.
