Memphis Grizzlies Injury Update: Nightmare Engulfs Franchise as 9 Players Injured; Check Ja Morant's Status vs. Philadelphia 76ers (Dec. 30)

The Memphis Grizzlies submitted a lengthy injury report ahead of their crunch clash against the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday. The franchise listed nine players, with eight confirmed to miss the game, while one is questionable for the game. The good news, however, is that superstar Ja Morant is cleared to suit up, and he will lead the team's charge once again.

Morant has played in the previous two games after he missed four consecutive games before that. In the previous outing against the Washington Wizards, the athletic point guard delivered a measured and efficient performance, but his effort went in vain.

Morant finished the game with 21 points and seven assists, while shooting 8 of 16 from the floor, including 3 of 5 from 3-point range. The Grizzlies guard is in the midst of his worst season in the league, averaging just 17.9 points per game, while shooting a career-low 37.4% from the field, including 22.2% from beyond the arc.
