Ja Morant Sidelined Two More Weeks Due to Incomplete UCL Healing

Ja Morant will remain out for at least two additional weeks after follow-up imaging revealed incomplete healing of his sprained left UCL. The Grizzlies announced Thursday that the All-Star guard continues to experience discomfort and will be re-evaluated in mid-March. Morant has appeared in 20 games this season, averaging 19.5 points and 8.1 assists, but has not played since January 21. Ty Jerome and Scotty Pippen will continue to see elevated roles in his absence.
