The Grizzlies announced on Sunday that Morant will be out due to left hamstring soreness. This is a new injury and not the one that held him out of Saturday’s win against the Miami Heat.
Morant has been dealing with lingering right shoulder soreness in recent weeks. Despite the nagging injury, he has been playing his best basketball of the calendar year. He averaged 31.3 points and 7.7 assists in six games in March.
Hip, shoulder and ankle Injuries have kept Morant from consistently being in the lineup this season. He has appeared in 43 of the Grizzlies’ 68 games.
With Morant out, the team likely will go to a starting backcourt combination of Luke Kennard and Desmond Bane. Memphis also tends to rely on Scotty Pippen Jr. when Morant is out, but Pippen is questionable to play Monday because of left wrist soreness.
Power forward Santi Aldama, who has a right calf strain, has been upgraded to doubtful for Monday’s game. He has missed seven of the past eight games.
The Grizzlies are in a tight race for the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference. They share the same record as the Denver Nuggets and Houston Rockets, but sit in fourth place in the West.
