Ja Morant injuries in NBA 2024-25

Morant had a tough season in the NBA for the Memphis Grizzlies. The hip strain was not the first injury this year. The 25-year-old hurt his ankle during the pre-season. Grizzlies played without Morant in a regular season game due to soreness in his right thigh. The hip injury against the Lakers is a fresh one and already missed one game.

Morant is averaging 20.6 points and 9.1 assists per game after appearing in the first eight games this season. Morant’s injury will push other players to step up for the Memphis ahead of the crucial road trip. Grizzlies are likely to take on the Trail Blazers, Lakers and Warriors on the road without Morant.
