Ja Morant is set to be reevaluated as he deals with a UCL sprain in his left elbow — the latest setback in what’s become another interrupted season.
The Memphis Grizzlies guard has played just 20 games this year, averaging 19.5 points and 8.1 assists. Before the elbow injury on Jan. 21 against the Atlanta Hawks, he had already missed six games earlier this month with a right calf contusion.
Zoom out further, and the durability conversation becomes harder to ignore: Morant has appeared in just 59 games over the last two seasons.
When he’s on the floor, Memphis looks different. The pace changes. The spacing opens up. The offense has structure. But the pattern of ankle, calf, and now elbow issues raises a fair question about long-term reliability.
This isn’t about talent — that’s never been the issue. It’s about consistency and availability.
With a potential three-year, $178 million extension window approaching this summer, health is no longer just a short-term storyline. It’s a franchise-level evaluation point. a
So let’s ask it directly: Are you concerned about Ja Morant’s injury situation — or do you see this as normal wear-and-tear for a high-usage guard?
Is this just bad luck… or the beginning of a troubling trend?
Curious where Grizzlies fans stand on this.
