Grizzlies star Ja Morant faces another tough obstacle

Ja Morant's Injury Concerns Mount as Grizzlies Struggle in First 11 Games

Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant is facing another setback with ankle soreness after Tuesday's game against the New York Knicks. The two-time All-Star checked in for 33 minutes of action, scoring 16 points and logging a double-double with 10 assists. However, his performance was overshadowed by the team's second-straight loss.

The Grizzlies' struggles are no surprise, given Morant's recent postgame comments that suggested he's frustrated with the coaching staff. The star guard has been visibly upset, which might be affecting his shooting. This season, Morant is averaging 18.9 points, the lowest mark of his career since his rookie season in 2019-2020. His field goal percentage is down to just 35 percent.

The Grizzlies' decision to rule out Morant for Wednesday's game against the Celtics doesn't seem like a long-term concern, but he will need to be monitored moving forward. The team has listed Morant, along with several other players, on their injury report due to various ailments.

Despite Morant's struggles, his assist numbers have improved this season, averaging 8.1 per game. However, he is turning the ball over at a career-high rate of 4.0 per game. The Grizzlies' season debut without key player Zach Edey, who had left ankle surgery, could be approaching soon.

The Memphis Grizzlies are struggling to find their footing in their first 11 games. With Morant's recent comments and his injury concerns, it remains to be seen how the team will overcome these obstacles and get back on track.
 
idk what's going on with Ja Morant rn... 2-time All-Star and he's struggling big time 🤔. ankle soreness is one thing, but it's the frustration thing that's got me worried 🙅‍♂️. coaches gotta get their act together, Morant can't carry the team by himself 💪. 18.9 points is still respectable, but his shooting's way down... 35% FG? that's not the Ja we know 👀. and those turnovers? yikes! 4.0 per game? that's a red flag 🚨. gotta monitor Morant closely, but I think this team needs more than just one player to win 🔴🏀

Ugh, Ja Morant's ankle soreness is super worrying 🤕... I mean, he was already dealing with frustration over his coaching staff, and now this? 🤦‍♂️ It's like, okay, we get it, the team is struggling, but can't Morant just stay healthy for once? 🤞 At least he's still averaging those sick assists, 8.1 per game is no joke! 💥 But that turnover rate of 4.0? 😬 Not good. The Grizzlies need to figure this out ASAP or else they'll be stuck in neutral 🔙.
 
Wow! 🤯 The Grizzlies' season is off to a tough start, especially with Ja Morant dealing with injuries and frustration. His recent comments about the coaching staff have everyone wondering if he's losing his edge. 😬 18.9 points is still decent, but that 35% FG percentage is a major concern. He needs to get his shot back on track ASAP! 🏀
 
.. just wondering when Morant's gonna start playing with that fire again 😩 Grizzlies need him at 100% if they wanna make a push in the playoffs 💪 He's got so much talent, but something's gotta give... or change 🔄 Maybe they should try changing up their game plan or something? Not sure what else to say, just feelin' like Morant's frustration is rubbin' off on the team 🤔
 
idk why morant is so stressed out rn 🤔, he's still putting up solid numbers but u can tell its affectin his game 🏀... like i get it, coaches r not perfect & players have to deal with their own stuff 😩... hope he gets back 2 full strength soon 'cause the grizz need him 🚀
 
man I feel so bad for ja morant 🤕 he's having a rough season so far and it's not just about him being injured, it's about him feeling frustrated with the coaching staff 🤔 coaches need to step up their game and help their star player get back on track 💪 meanwhile, the grizzlies are still trying to find themselves after that big trade last offseason 🔄 they need to gel as a team and figure out how to win games ⚽️ morant's injury report is always a concern, but it's not like he's going to be out for good forever 🙏
 
🤔 so like morant's frustration is real but what's gonna change? they need a bigger plan than just hoping he gets hot again 🌡️ or else fans are gonna start getting restless, especially with that low fg% 😬
 
Omg 🤯, Ja Morant is having a tough time with ankle soreness 🤕 and it's affecting his game 💔. He's scoring less points than usual 📉 and his shooting percentage is down 🔴. I'm worried about him 🤞, he needs to get back on track ASAP ⏱️. The Grizzlies are struggling big time 😩, they need Ja Morant at 100% 👍. They can't keep losing games 🤦‍♂️ without their superstar leading the charge 💪. Fingers crossed 🤞 that he's back to his old self soon 🔮.
 
This season's woes for the Memphis Grizzlies seem to hinge on Ja Morant's recovery from ankle soreness 🤕. His frustration with the coaching staff is palpable, which may impact his shooting form 🏀. With a career-low 18.9 points average and field goal percentage at 35%, it's understandable that fans are growing concerned. The team's reliance on Morant, coupled with other injury concerns, makes their season debut without Zach Edey looming ⚽️. Can the Grizzlies find a way to gel despite these setbacks? Time will tell 🕰️.
 
Man... I'm getting really worried about Ja Morant's ankle issues 🤕. It seems like he's been dealing with this stuff for a while now, but every time he thinks he's close to being fully healthy again, something else goes wrong 😬. The fact that his shooting has plummeted from 40% last season to just 35% this year is a huge concern 🔥.

I think it's no secret that Morant's frustration with the coaching staff isn't helping matters either 🤔. When you're on the court and your coach is making some of those decisions, it can be tough to trust them completely 💔. It's like he's not getting the play calls or the help he needs from his teammates.

The Grizzlies need to figure out what's going on with Morant because they can't keep losing without him 😩. They've got some talented young players, but they're just not clicking yet 👍. I hope Ja is able to get back to his old self soon, or this season could be a long one ⏰.
 
man... ja morant is like the face of this grizzlies team 🤕 but he's just not looking himself lately. you can tell he's frustrated with the coaching staff and it's affecting his game 🏀 i'm not surprised though, coaches can be tough to deal with. anyway, 18.9 points a game is still pretty solid for him, but that 35% FG percentage? that's just crazy low 🔥 like, what's going on with his shooting form? gotta get him back on track ASAP 🕰️
 
Ugh, man I'm so tired of Ja Morant's ankle issues 🤕. Dude's been playing hurt for years now and it's starting to take a toll on his game. 18.9 points is basically half what he's averaging last season 😔. And yeah, the team's struggles are no surprise, but you'd think they could find some way to win without Morant being so injury-prone 🤦‍♂️. He's one of the best players in the league, for crying out loud! Can't he just stay healthy for 5 minutes straight? 💪 [https://www.nba.com/news/ja-morants-injury-concerns-mount-as-grizzlies-struggle-in-first-11-games]
 
man, its like they need to work together you know? Morant's frustration with the coaching staff is real, but so is the fact that he's having a tough time scoring 🤔. He's still doing okay in assists, but turnovers are killing them. and what's up with all these injuries 🤕? it feels like every other day they're adding someone to the injury report. gotta find a way to get Morant and Zach back on the court ASAP, or else the season is gonna be a long one 😬
 
Omg this season is already so stressful for Ja Morant 🤯! He's such a talented player but this ankle soreness is really affecting him. And with all the other players getting hurt too, it's like the Grizzlies are just trying to survive 🤕. I'm worried about their chances of making a good run in the playoffs. Morant's comments about the coaching staff being frustrating... yeah I can see that happening 🙄. He's such a key player for them and when he's off, it's tough for them to win. Fingers crossed he can get his ankle sorted out soon 💪!
 
omg I'm low-key worried about Ja Morant 🤕😬 his ankle soreness is getting scary and it's like he's not himself on the court anymore... that 35% FG percentage is NOT what we're used to seeing from him 🚫👎 I feel like he's got something going on with the coaching staff too, all those comments postgame are giving me some major concerns 🤔💬 does anyone think they should make a change? 🤷‍♂️
 
OMG IT SEEMS LIKE JA MORANT IS HAVING A TOUGH TIME THIS SEASON!!! 🤕 HE'S BEEN PLAYING WITH ANKLE SORES AND HIS SHOOTING HAS BEEN OFF 😔 AND NOW THE COACHING STAFF THINGS ARE ADDING TO HIS FRUSTRATION 🤯 I FEEL BAD FOR HIM BECAUSE HE'S SUCH A TALENTED PLAYER! 💪 BUT AT THE SAME TIME, I GET IT, INJURIES AND PERSONAL ISSUES CAN HAPPEN TO ANYONE 🤷‍♀️ WE'LL JUST HAVE TO KEEP WATCHING HOW THINGS PLAY OUT FOR MORANT AND THE GRIZZLIES THIS SEASON 📺
 
OMG u guys gotta talk about Ja Morant's shooting slump!!! 🤯 He's averaging 18.9 points but only making 35% of his shots? That's like, super slow for him! 😅 I think the coaching staff needs to make some changes, maybe try new strategies or something. And yeah, Morant's frustration with the team is no surprise, he does seem pretty upset after games 🤔. Can't say I blame him though, being a star player can be tough especially when things aren't going well.
