Ja Morant's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (hip) has missed the team's last eight games and was considered questionable for Monday night. According to NBA insider Chris Haynes, however, Morant will return on Monday to face the Portland Trail Blazers. They will finally have a fully healthy backcourt in what felt like forever. While his minutes this season have been at a career-low, he's averaged 20.6 points, 5.0 rebounds, 9.1 assists, 1.0 threes, and 4.3 turnovers per game across eight appearances.

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant (hip) has been listed as questionable for Monday's contest against Portland. He was considered doubtful for the previous game against Chicago, and an upgrade to a questionable status means that Morant is getting close to returning to action. The star guard has been unavailable for eight games. Scotty Pippen Jr. went off for a big 30-point double-double on Friday versus the Bulls, but he will lose a large chunk of minutes once Morant is back. Monday's matchup would be an excellent spot for a big comeback game for Morant, as the Trail Blazers have allowed the sixth-most fantasy points in the league to opposing point guards this season.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (hip) has been upgraded to doubtful for Saturday's game against the Chicago Bulls, signaling some progress in his recovery. Head coach Taylor Jenkins shared that imaging on Morant's hip showed no significant issues, providing optimism for a return soon. In his absence, Scotty Pippen Jr. is expected to continue filling the void at point guard. Morant has only played in eight games this season but has been highly productive when available, averaging 20.6 points, 9.1 assists, and 5.0 rebounds per game. Fantasy managers will want to monitor his status closely as he works his way back to full health.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (hip) has already missed the last five games due to injury and it doesn't sound like he's on the verge of returning. Head coach Taylor Jenkins said on Tuesday that Morant's imaging on his hip came back positive. Despite that, Morant is still considered week-to-week, so this isn't great news for fantasy managers. The assumption is that Morant will be out until at least early December. Scotty Pippen Jr. and Jaylen Wells have been picking up the slack with Morant being sidelined. Both players are worth looking at while the Grizzlies are shorthanded in the backcourt.

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant (hip) is considered week-to-week. The team announced Morant has been diagnosed with a posterior hip subluxation and multiple Grade 1 pelvic muscle strains. He will miss a second consecutive game on Sunday versus Portland. Memphis is also without Marcus Smart (ankle) and Desmond Bane (oblique), meaning the Scotty Pippen Jr. train is in full flow again. Making his first start of the campaign, Pippen Jr. produced his first career triple-double against Washington on Friday. As a result of the injuries, Jaylen Wells has also become a starter. Luke Kennard has just returned from injury and should get a chance to play a larger role as well.
