MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) --- Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant is expected to miss
at least the next three weeks due to a sprained ulnar collateral ligament in
his left elbow.
The injury occurred Wednesday during the Grizzlies' 124-122 loss to the Atlanta
Hawks. The Grizzlies announced the severity of the injury Saturday and said the
two-time All-Star would be re-evaluated in approximately three weeks.
This represents the latest setback in a tumultuous season for Morant, who had
missed six games with an injured right calf before returning Sunday for the
Grizzlies' 126-109 victory over the Orlando Magic in London.
Morant has appeared in only 20 of the team's 43 games this season and has
averaged 19.5 points, 8.1 assists and 3.3 rebounds amid trade speculation.
