Ja Morant spoke to the media for the first time since his Jan. 21 elbow injury on Friday, and he shared some details on what's been bothering him. He said the biggest issue is throwing crossbody passes by whipping the ball to the opposite side with his left hand. Everything else he feels like he can manage, but he also said he has to be smart about it.
The Grizzlies said this week that he'll be reevaluated in two weeks after imaging showed incomplete healing of the UCL sprain. He's been out for over six weeks now, averaging 19.5 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 8.1 assists in 20 games before going down.
How much does Morant's return timeline affect how you're feeling about the rest of this Grizzlies season?
