Grizzlies reporter Damichael Cole took to Twitter to report the worrisome news that the Grizzlies’ key player, Ja Morant, will miss tomorrow’s game against the Kings due to injury. Morant was reportedly sidelined by a sore left hamstring and had been struggling with a sore right shoulder.
Morant, as the star of the Grizzlies, has played 43 games on behalf of the team so far this season, averaging 22.3 points, 4.1 rebounds, 7.4 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.3 blocks per game, which is the indispensable core strength of the team. However, in yesterday’s Grizzlies beat the Heat game, Morant was sidelined with a sore right shoulder, now adding a new injury, no doubt to the Grizzlies’ future record cast a shadow.
For Morant personally, 2025 was supposed to be his best basketball year, but a series of injuries have become obstacles in his way. Fans have also expressed concern that Morant can recover soon and return to the field.
For now, the Grizzlies need to face the challenge of Morant’s absence and adjust their tactics and lineup to cope with the upcoming Kings game. At the same time, teams also need to pay more attention to the health of players, do a good job in injury prevention and rehabilitation, and ensure that players can play for the team at their best.
