As a result, he will be out for at least another two weeks with the team.
Morant hasn't played a game since Jan. 21 since he sustained his elbow issues. It remains to be seen if he can return by mid-March, or the Grizzlies will subsequently shut him down for the remainder of the season due to their brutal 23-28 record and brand-new rebuild plans.
With Morant still being sidelined, Scotty Pippen and Ty Jerome will continue to lead the Grizzlies' backcourt.
Morant has been relatively often-injured again this season. He only appeared in 20 games, averaging 19.5 points and 8.1 assists.
