Memphis Grizzlies News, Rumors, Updates - National Basketball Association

In line to start with Morant out Jones is expected to take over as the starting point for the Grizzlies during the absence of Ja Morant (ankle), who will be re-evaluated weekly.

Impact Jones is essentially a must-roster player in 12-team fantasy formats for as long as Morant is shelved. He's played well as a starter this year, and in 23 starts last season, he averaged 12.7 points, 6.6 assists, 3.2 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 30.2 minutes. Desmond Bane (toe) is also out for at least another week-plus, which should force more usage Jones' way.

Grizzlies All-Star Morant week to week with sprained ankle

Grizzlies All-Star guard Ja Morant has a sprained left ankle that will keep him out at least a week and possibly longer

NOVEMBER 19, 2022 • Associated Press

Considered week-to-week Morant suffered a Grade 1 ankle sprain in Friday's game versus the Thunder and is being listed as week-to-week.

Impact Morant's injury is a massive blow for a Grizzlies team that's gotten off to a solid 10-6 start through the first 16 games. Morant is typically the engine that runs the offense, sitting fourth in the league in usage rate (35.1) behind only Joel Embiid, Luka Doncic and Giannis Antetokounmpo. The wording of Charania's report is discouraging, and fantasy managers shouldn't be surprised if Morant misses the next few weeks. In the star guard's absence, Tyus Jones should step in as the starting point guard, while John Konchar and Kennedy Chandler are candidates to see increased minutes and usage.

Requires MRI Grizzlies head coach Taylor Jenkins said that Morant would have testing and imaging on his left ankle Saturday after exiting with 3:09 remaining in Friday's 121-110 win over the Th...

Impact Morant finished with 19 points, 11 assists, seven rebounds and one block in 32 minutes before suffering the injury in the fourth quarter and requiring assistance to get to the locker room. Grizzlies teammate Brandon Clarke relayed after the game that Morant was able to walk under his own power in the locker room, but the All-Star point guard looks like he'll face an uphill battle to make it back in the lineup for Sunday's game in Brooklyn even if the MRI brings good news. Tyus Jones would presumably draw the start at point guard Sunday if Morant can't play.

Could replace injured Morant Jones finished Friday's 121-110 win over the Thunder with 13 points (4-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five assists, two rebounds and one block across 23 minutes.

Impact Jones' line was solid enough, but he could have the opportunity to turn in even more fantasy-friendly performances if the ankle injury Ja Morant suffered late in Friday's game forces him to miss time. The Grizzlies won't have an official update on Morant until evaluating him Saturday, but fantasy managers looking for a boost in the assists category in particular may want to take an early flier on Jones.
