Morant was
diagnosed with a Grade 1 AC joint sprain in his right shoulder and is considered week-to-week.
ANALYSISMorant suffered the injury during the Grizzlies' 132-124 win over the Pelicans this past Friday. He was already ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Suns, but it appears the superstar point guard is slated to miss multiple games due to the injury.
Scotty Pippen will likely remain in the Grizzlies' starting lineup, and Pippen,
Desmond Bane,
Jaylen Wells and
Jaren Jackson will need to pick up the scoring slack while Morant is sidelined.
