On Tuesday, the Memphis Grizzlies announced that guard Ja Morant, forward Brandon Clarke, and center Zach Edey will miss the remainder of the season.
According to the team, Morant, 26, continues to progress in his rehabilitation of a UCL sprain in his left elbow. Following a recent consultation to advise on lingering discomfort, it was recommended that Morant receive a PRP (platelet-rich plasma) injection to further optimize ligament healing. The six-year veteran will begin offloading the elbow following the injection and will miss the remainder of the 2025-26 season, but he is expected to make a full recovery ahead of the 2026-27 season.
The two-time All-Star sustained the injury against the Atlanta Hawks on January 21.
This season, in 20 games, Morant is averaging 19.5 points and 8.1 assists per contest.
Clarke continues to progress in his rehabilitation of a right calf strain, but recent imaging indicated that additional healing is required prior to clearance for high-intensity court work. The six-year veteran will continue his rehabilitation program and will miss the remainder of the 2025-26 season, but he is expected to make a full recovery ahead of the 2026-27 season.
The 29-year-old played in only one game this season.
Edey today underwent a procedure to address lingering discomfort in his left elbow. He is expected to make a full recovery ahead of the 2026-27 season.
This season, the second-year center played only 11 games for the Grizzlies.
Memphis(24-47) will host the Spurs(54-18) on Wednesday night.
