Grizzlies' Morant sidelined by elbow sprain

SPORTS 24.01.2026

Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant will miss at least three weeks with a sprained left elbow ligament, the NBA team said Saturday.

Text size:

The injury means Morant will be out of action through the league's February 5 trade deadline.

The 26-year-old guard, who clashed with the Grizzlies coaching staff early this season, has been the subject of trade speculation in recent weeks.

He missed six games in January with a right calf contusion, returning with a strong performance in the Grizzlies' win over the Orlando Magic in London.

The Grizzlies said in a brief statement that Morant sprained the ulnar collateral ligament in his left elbow in Wednesday's home loss to the Atlanta Hawks.

Morant scored 23 points and handed out 12 assists before departing favoring his arm after racing back to block a shot.

Morant is averaging 19.5 points and 8.1 assists per game for the Grizzlies.

Asked in London about trade rumors he indicated he wants to stay in Memphis.

"I've got a logo on my back, so that should tell you exactly where I want to be," said Morant, who has a tattoo of the Grizzlies logo. "I'm a very loyal guy."
