Ja Morant won't be playing on Friday against the New Orleans Pelicans
Memphis Grizzlies / Schedule
Per the Memphis Grizzlies' initial injury report, Morant is dealing with an elbow injury and won't be suiting up for their home matchup with the Pels.
This serves as the latest injury for the Grizzlies guard, who notably missed six consecutive games recently due to a right calf contusion.
Morant was dazzling with 23 points and 12 assists, but he and the Grizzlies absorbed a tight 124-122 loss against the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday.
With Morant out, Jaylen Wells, Cedric Coward, Cam Spencer and Vince Williams are set to draw increased minutes from coach Tuomas Iisalo.
Morant only appeared in 20 games this 2025-26, averaging 19.5 points in 41 percent shooting along with 8.1 assists.
