Injuries Impact Memphis Grizzlies and Cavaliers

The Memphis Grizzlies are facing injury challenges as rookie Zach Edey has been sidelined due to a left ankle injury, following two ankle turns during a recent game against the Denver Nuggets. This will mark Edey's first missed game after participating in all 14 of the team's previous matches. Additionally, Ja Morant remains out with a hip injury, while Marcus Smart is questionable due to illness. Despite these setbacks, the Grizzlies have showcased their depth, with multiple players contributing to the offense, as highlighted by Desmond Bane. Meanwhile, the Cleveland Cavaliers are also dealing with injuries, as Isaac Okoro and Dean Wade are both affected ahead of their game against the Boston Celtics, with Wade ruled out. Caris LeVert's knee inflammation adds to the Cavaliers' concerns, although Donovan Mitchell is expected to return after resting last game.
