Grizzlies' Morant Doubtful Against Lakers Due to Injury

Ja Morant of the Memphis Grizzlies is doubtful to return to Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers due to a right hamstring injury sustained during an alley-oop attempt. Prior to his injury, Morant had an impressive performance with 20 points, five rebounds, and five assists in just 24 minutes of play. The Grizzlies recently suffered a narrow 106-104 loss to the Brooklyn Nets, where rookie Zach Edey was a standout with 25 points and 12 rebounds. Despite the loss, Morant's remarkable performances continue to draw attention, including his acrobatic plays against the Nets that have gone viral. The Grizzlies are facing injury concerns, as Luke Kennard and John Konchar are also dealing with injuries, adding pressure on their available roster as they anticipate facing the Lakers.
