The Memphis Grizzlies announced that Ja Morant will be out for an indefinite period of time.
Ja Morant Suffers Hip Strain
On Saturday, the team reported that Morant is "week-to-week" due to a pair of injuries sustained from their matchup on Wednesday against the Los Angeles Lakers. Imaging revealed a posterior hip subluxation along with multiple associated Grade 1 pelvic muscle strains.
The Grizzlies' star attempted to catch a lob pass during the second half of the game when he was "destabilized midair by a Lakers player."
No foul was called, and Morant wasn't shy about voicing his disdain for the no call after the game.
"Fouling," Morant said told reporters. "We speak on that. Fouling. That's why I didn't play the rest of the game. Fouling. Let's talk about it."
Morant is one of three starters for the 6-4 Grizzlies who are set to miss considerable time with injuries. Guards Desmond Bane (oblique strain) and Marcus Smart (ankle sprain) have not played since the end of October.
The Grizzlies open up a three-game road trip on Sunday in Portland as they'll look to maintain their solid start to the season despite their scourge of injuries. As for Morant, no update has been provided on whether or not he'll travel with the team for the upcoming trip.
