Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant (elbow) will miss the remainder of the 2025-26 season, the team announced. The star guard has been on the shelf since late January with a left elbow injury. According to the Grizzlies, Morant is making progress in his recovery from a UCL sprain and recently received a platelet-rich plasma injection. He is expected to make a full recovery ahead of the 2026-27 season. Morant had another injury-plagued season, making only 20 appearances. He averaged 19.5 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 8.1 assists in 28.5 minutes per game. Walter Clayton Jr., Cam Spencer, and Javon Small (back) have all been thrust into bigger roles as a result of Morant's absence. |

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant (elbow) has not played since Jan. 21 and has been limited to only 20 games this season due to multiple injuries. He'll be sidelined for at least a couple more weeks due to discomfort from his UCL sprain. He is averaging 19.5 points, 8.1 assists, and 3.3 rebounds per game when available, but the Grizzlies made an attempt to trade their former star at the trade deadline and were unable to find any takers. He doesn't seem to be in the team's plans, although he could return late in the season to try and increase his value. He'll be re-evaluated in two weeks, and until then, Ty Jerome, Scotty Pippen Jr., and Cam Spencer will continue to run the point for the Grizz. |

| Thu Feb 19 | 06:49 | Ja Morant to Be Re-Evaluated in Two Weeks |
Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant (elbow) will be re-evaluated in two weeks, the team announced on Wednesday. The Grizzlies star hasn't played since Jan. 21 due to a UCL sprain in his left elbow. Unfortunately, health issues have ruined another campaign for Morant, who has suited up just 20 times this season. With him unavailable, Ty Jerome, Cam Spencer, and Scotty Pippen Jr. have larger roles on the team. Jerome has the most fantasy appeal of these three players, but he has been playing with a minutes limit since making his season debut in late January. Across 20.2 minutes per game, Jerome has averaged 19.7 points, 6.0 assists, and 1.2 steals. |

Morant has been sidelined since Jan. 21 with a UCL sprain and is due for a recheck soon. In the meantime, Ty Jerome is the best streamer after logging 19 points and seven assists in 21 minutes Tuesday. Scotty Pippen Jr. and Cam Spencer round out the minutes, with steals and assists as their main appeal. |

| Thu Feb 5 | 16:23 | Ja Morant Will Stay with the Grizzlies After No Team Made a Serious Offer |
Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (elbow) was not traded at the NBA Trade Deadline and will finish out this season in Memphis. According to ESPN's Shams Charania, multiple teams did have interest based onMorant's talent, but none were willing to make a serious offer. Morant has elite talent when he's healthy and not dealing with off-court issues, but he is currently sidelined by a UCL sprain, which is expected to keep him sidelined through the All-Star break. Morant has been limited to just 20 games this year, averaging 19.5 points, 8.1 assists, and 3.3 rebounds in 28.5 minutes per game. Ty Jerome and Cam Spencer will continue to play more minutes until he returns. When he comes back, the crowded backcourt will be tricky to figure out for fantasy purposes, especially with the team likely out of the race for the postseason. |

| Sat Jan 24 | 11:37 | Ja Morant Facing Multi-Week Absence With Elbow Sprain |
Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (elbow) will be reevaluated in roughly three weeks after suffering a left elbow UCL sprain, effectively sidelining him until after the All-Star break. The extended absence shifts short-term fantasy value to the backcourt replacements. Cam Spencer has been the most reliable option, averaging 12.2 points, 8.4 assists, and 3.6 rebounds in 24.7 minutes over his last five games while handling primary creation duties. Vince Williams Jr. remains a secondary play, while Ty Jerome (calf) profiles as a speculative add once healthy. |

| Thu Jan 22 | 20:21 | Ja Morant to Skip Friday's Game |
Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant (elbow) won't play on Friday against the New Orleans Pelicans. After returning from a calf problem, Morant managed to make two appearances before suffering a new injury. He is on the injury report with a UCL sprain in his left elbow. Morant's absence on Friday will likely give Cam Spencer a chance to rejoin the starting lineup. Spencer has frequently filled in for Morant this season, averaging 11.4 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 9.3 assists as a starter. It's a good matchup for Spencer, as he faces a team that allows the fourth-most assists to point guards. |

On Saturday, Grizzlies head coach Tuomas Iisalo hinted that Morant is on track to return after he came through a full practice.

| Sat Jan 17 | 09:48 | Ja Morant Has Chance to Return Sunday in London |
Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (calf) has a good chance to return Sunday in London after missing six games with a calf contusion, with coach Tuomas Iisalo noting Morant completed a full practice and handled full-speed stretches. His return restores Memphis' offensive engine and elite assist upside, although workload monitoring remains a possibility. Cam Spencer started during Morant's absence and averaged 11.0 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 9.5 assists in 29.7 minutes. He should remain serviceable even with Morant active, albeit with reduced usage and minutes. Spencer profiles as a lower-ceiling streamer, while Morant immediately reclaims primary creation duties. |

Spencer has stepped into the starting lineup as Morant's replacement, averaging 11.8 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 8.3 assists over the last four games.

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant (calf) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs.

The two-time All-Star has gotten off to a slow start to his seventh season, averaging 19.0 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 7.6 assists. With Morant sitting against the Spurs, expect Cam Spencer and Vince Williams Jr. to make an impact in his absence. With the Grizzlies playing back-to-backs, fantasy managers should cross their fingers that Morant didn't suffer a reinjury and is simply managing his health. |

| Tue Jan 6 | 16:36 | Grizzlies Likely Without Ja Morant, Cedric Coward on Tuesday |
The Memphis Grizzlies may face the San Antonio Spurs without their starting backcourt on Tuesday night. Point guard Ja Morant (calf) is doubtful with a calf contusion, while Cedric Coward (ankle) has already been ruled out. If Morant is unable to go, it will be his second consecutive game on the sidelines. This will be the second game Coward has missed this season. Vince Williams Jr. (knee) is probable to make his return after missing the last eight games. He, Pat Spencer, and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope will be responsible for most of the backcourt minutes tonight, should Morant sit. |

| Tue Jan 6 | 08:32 | Ja Morant Tagged as Questionable for Tuesday |
Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant (calf) is carrying a questionable tag on the injury report ahead of the first leg of a back-to-back on Tuesday against the San Antonio Spurs. Morant missed Sunday's loss to the Los Angeles Lakers due to a right calf contusion. Unfortunately, it has been yet another campaign full of health issues for Morant, who has appeared in only 18 of Memphis' 35 games. Another absence on Tuesday will likely keep Cam Spencer in the first unit. Spencer had a horrible shooting night against the Lakers, finishing with only five points. Still, he is averaging nearly a double-double as a starter this season, posting 10.6 points and 9.0 assists. |

| Sun Jan 4 | 21:07 | Ja Morant Downgraded on Sunday Night |
Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (calf) won't play on Sunday against the Lakers. He was listed as questionable throughout the day. However, the 26-year-old began trending in the wrong direction a few hours heading into this one. Fortunately, Santi Aldama (ankle) is available, so he should pick up a lot of the slack on the offensive end alongside Jaren Jackson Jr., Cedric Coward, and Cam Spencer in a projected high-scoring contest. |

| Sun Jan 4 | 14:19 | Ja Morant Questionable Against the Lakers |
Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (calf) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Lakers. He's missed plenty of time throughout his career. However, the 25-year-old is now in danger of sitting out because of a right calf contusion. With Vince Williams Jr. (knee) already ruled out, Cam Spencer may find himself handling things at the one spot. The 2024 No. 53 overall pick has had an excellent campaign, averaging 12.0 points, 4.8 assists, and 48.5% shooting from behind the arc, making him an attractive fantasy option in a potential high-scoring contest. Spencer could be even more productive if Santi Aldama (ankle) doesn't suit up. |

| Fri Dec 26 2025 | 18:46 | Ja Morant Available On Friday Night Against Milwaukee |
Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (ankle) is officially available for Friday night's matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks. Morant has been dealing with a left ankle sprain that's caused him to miss the last four games. The 26-year-old has been very good facilitating Memphis' offense this season when healthy, averaging 7.5 APG this season. He should be in a solid spot against the Bucks, whose defense has been spotty at times. Fantasy managers and DFS players alike need to ensure the Grizzlies' superstar is inserted into their starting lineups. |
