Injury Report: Memphis Grizzlies vs New Orleans Pelicans

The injury report is very lengthy for this game.

The Memphis Grizzlies and New Orleans Pelicans face off in a battle of two shorthanded teams, but unfortunately, the Grizzlies will be the more shorthanded one.

The Grizzlies have four key players listed on their injury report: Steven Adams, Santi Aldama, Brandon Clarke, and Ja Morant. Steven Adams is out for the entire season due to his right PCL strain, Santi Aldama is out due to a right ankle sprain, Brandon Clarke is out due to left Achilles surgery recovery, and Ja Morant is out due to a league suspension. It's worth noting that Steven Adams, Brandon Clarke, and Ja Morant will all be out for extended periods of time.

The New Orleans Pelicans have three players listed on their injury report: Jose Alvarado, Naji Marshall, and Trey Murphy III. Jose Alvarado is out due to a right ankle sprain, Naji Marshall is out due to a right knee contusion, and Trey Murphy III is out due to a partial meniscectomy on his left knee. The most important thing for the Pelicans is that Brandon Ingram and Zion Williamson are both playing, and neither are listed on the injury report.

They will be shorthanded, they will be missing key players, and they will be facing an uphill battle against the New Orleans Pelicans.
