The injury happened in the match against the Los Angeles Lakers, when Morant had fallen hard inside the third quarter. Since then, he has been seen on crutches which seems to point to the seriousness of the injury.

While the Grizzlies are optimistic for a quick recovery, Coach Taylor Jenkins has said that Morant’s return is “week-to-week.” This manner that it is uncertain when exactly he may be again at the courtroom.

The Grizzlies will now have to bank on the intensity plus their other players who need to step up in the void left by Morant. Tough times are waiting for the Grizzlies as they also have a heavy schedule ahead with games against the Warriors, Nuggets, 76ers, and the Bulls.
