Memphis Grizzlies Injury Report: Massive Updates on Ja Morant and Cam Spencer as 9 Players Listed vs Wolves (Dec. 17)

The Memphis Grizzlies will lock horns with the Minnesota Timberwolves at the Target Center in Minneapolis on Wednesday. The team will look to secure back-to-back road wins after receiving key updates on Ja Morant and Cam Spencer, with nine players on the injury list.

Morant, who started two contests in a row after missing 10 straight games, is back on the injury list for this matchup. The guard twisted his ankle in the fourth quarter during Memphis' 121-103 win over the Clippers on Monday and is listed as questionable.

Additionally, the Grizzlies will be without their other point guard, Cam Spencer. He has been ruled out of Wednesday’s matchup due to personal reasons and will miss a game for the first time this season.

With both guards possibly missing out, Vince Williams will likely start against the Timberwolves. Apart from the duo, Memphis has an inflated injury report with seven other players set to miss the game against Minnesota.

Scotty Pippen Jr. (toe), Brandon Clarke (knee) and Ty Jerome (calf) have yet to feature this season as they continue to recover from their respective injuries.

Meanwhile, Jon Konchar and Zach Edey both suffered injuries against the Portland Trail Blazers last Sunday. Konchar suffered a UCL tear in his left thumb, while Edey is sidelined with an ankle injury. Both are expected to miss multiple weeks and are ruled out for the remainder of the calendar year.

On the other hand, Javon Small has been out with a toe injury since early November and is expected to miss three more weeks. Lastly, GG Jackson is the final name on the injury report, with the forward being assigned to the G League for the upcoming games.

With multiple injuries hampering the Memphis Grizzlies, they face an uphill task against the Timberwolves. However, after winning seven of its last 10 games, Memphis will remain confident in its chances.
