Memphis Grizzlies

Memphis Grizzlies-Star Ja Morant hat sich am UCL des linken Ellbogens im Verlust gegen die Atlanta Hawks am Mittwoch verstaucht und ist damit mindestens drei Wochen bis zur NBA-Trade-Deadline außer Gefecht. Diese Entwicklung bringt frische Unsicherheit in die laufenden Transferdiskussionen um den zweifachen All-Star.

Three prominent NBA players—Trae Young of the Washington Wizards, Ja Morant of the Memphis Grizzlies, and Jonathan Kuminga of the Golden State Warriors—are currently sidelined with injuries, raising questions about the league's enforcement of its collective bargaining agreement. Trade rumors swirl around Morant and Kuminga, while Young's extended absence has sparked speculation of a potential investigation. Former player Lou Williams advocates for a fresh start for Morant via trade, similar to Young's recent move.

Memphis Grizzlies center Zach Edey is expected to miss at least four weeks due to a stress reaction in his left ankle, the team announced. The 7-foot-4 rookie has been averaging 13.6 points and 11.1 rebounds in 11 games this season after debuting on November 15. A full recovery is anticipated following rest and rehabilitation.

The Memphis Grizzlies have climbed two spots to No. 22 in the latest NBA power rankings after securing back-to-back wins despite missing key players. Without Ja Morant for nearly all of their last five games and Jaren Jackson Jr. sidelined by an ankle injury for the past two, the team defeated the Sacramento Kings and Dallas Mavericks. Their improved rebounding with Zach Edey back has fueled this recent success.

Reports indicate a tepid market for Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant if he becomes available for trade. NBA executives cite his contract, off-court issues, injuries, and playing style as deterrents. The Sacramento Kings emerge as a potential suitor to monitor.

Ja Morant played his first game back after a one-game suspension, scoring 20 points and recording 10 assists in the Memphis Grizzlies' 114-106 loss to the Detroit Pistons. His postgame comments revealed ongoing tension with coach Tuomas Iisalo over rotation patterns and a lack of joy in the game. The defeat dropped Memphis to 3-5, extending their three-game losing streak.
