Ja Morant Sidelined with Hip Injury, Grizzlies Face Setback

Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant is out week-to-week after sustaining a hip injury during a game against the Los Angeles Lakers.

Morant suffered a posterior hip subluxation and multiple Grade 1 pelvic muscle strains during a fall in the third quarter of a game against the Lakers.
The injury occurred as Morant attempted to catch a lob pass and was destabilized mid-air by a Lakers player.
He is averaging 20.6 points, 9.1 assists, and 5.0 rebounds in eight games this season, with the Grizzlies currently holding a 6-4 record.
Morant's absence adds to the Grizzlies' injury woes, with fellow starters Desmond Bane and Marcus Smart also sidelined.
Scotty Pippen Jr. stepped up in Morant's absence, recording a triple-double in the Grizzlies' win over the Washington Wizards.
