The team announced this weekend that Ja Morant will remain inactive and won't suit up in Memphis' Monday matchup against the Oklahoma City Thunder due to a left ankle sprain.
Morant is being joined by six other Grizzlies on the injury report.
Injuries remain a problematic issue for Memphis this year, with Morant dealing with tons of inactivity throughout the season. He has missed the past two games after sustaining an ankle injury in last week's matchup against the Grizzlies.
The Memphis star is averaging a career-worst 17.7 points in 35.7 percent shooting across 14 games this year.
