Morant Out 3 Weeks with Elbow Sprain, Misses Trade Deadline

Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant is sidelined for at least three weeks due to a UCL sprain in his left elbow, sustained during the Jan. 21 game against the Hawks. He will be reevaluated in approximately three weeks, ensuring his absence through the Feb. 5 trade deadline and likely past the All-Star break. While a full recovery is expected, his time off impacts his potential trade value. The Grizzlies will lean on Cam Spencer and Vince Williams, with Ty Jerome (calf) also potentially seeing minutes at point guard.
