Something appears to be in the air in Memphis, as the Grizzlies haven't been able to escape the injury bug to start the season. While the team has seen a handful of their role players miss games, a recent update on one of their star players shows these problems will look to continue.

In an update shared by the Memphis Grizzlies PR team, All-Star guard Ja Morant is set to be sidelined due to a pair of injuries sustained from their November 6th matchup against the Los Angeles Lakers. The imaging revealed that Morant suffered posterior hip subluxation and multiple Grade 1 pelvic muscle strains coming from his fall in the third quarter.

Per the post, the Grizzlies have listed Morant as week-to-week, and there is no update on when he will be reevaluated.

Via Grizzlies PR: “The Memphis Grizzlies today announced the following medical update for Ja Morant: While attempting to catch a lob during the third quarter of the November 6 game against the Los Angeles Lakers, Morant was destabilized midair by a Lakers player, causing him to fall into extreme right hip flexion. Imaging revealed a posterior hip subluxation (without dislocation) along with multiple associated Grade 1 pelvic muscle strains. Morant is considered week-to-week, and updates will be provided as appropriate.”

The Grizzlies are back in action on Sunday when they'll begin their three-game road trip with the Portland Trail Blazers. No update has been provided on whether or not he'll travel with the team for the upcoming trip.
