The Memphis Grizzlies will be without Ja Morant for at least three weeks after he suffered a left elbow UCL sprain against the Atlanta Hawks on Jan. 21, 2026. The injury will keep the franchise star sidelined through the Feb. 5 trade deadline, adding another layer of uncertainty to an already complicated season.
While Morant is expected to make a full recovery, his absence limits Memphis’ flexibility as trade rumors continue to swirl. With league-wide interest reportedly lukewarm, the Grizzlies now face tough decisions without their best player on the floor.
