Memphis Grizzlies are yet to make any update regarding the injury of their star player. The hosts had a 4-4 record in first eight games after facing a 106-104 defeat to Brooklyn Nets. When Morant left the game, Memphis were leading the game 87-75 with three minutes remaining in the game.

How long will it take for Ja Morant to return from the hamstring injury?

Ja Morant’s recovery will be fast but it will surely take time. Taylor Jenkins also won’t risk his best player in the position. The head coach will join the squad after missing the Lakers’ game due to a death in the family.

The 25-year-old Point Guard may miss out the entire NBA season. There is no confirmed update about his comeback but injury will now allow him to take part in the remaining games of the regular season. Meanwhile, Memphis Grizzlies improved to 5-4 after a much-needed win over the Lakers. They will stay at home to face Washington Wizards on Friday.
