Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant will remain sidelined for at least two more weeks as he continues rehabilitation from a sprained ulnar collateral ligament in his left elbow. The team announced Thursday that follow-up imaging revealed "incomplete healing" of the injury. Morant has not played since suffering the elbow injury on January 21 during a game against the Los Angeles Clippers.

The two-time All-Star has appeared in just 20 games this season, averaging 19.5 points and 8.1 assists per contest. His absence creates significant challenges for the Grizzlies as they fight for playoff positioning in the competitive Western Conference. Memphis sits 10th in the conference standings, needing Morant's playmaking ability to improve their offensive efficiency.

The Grizzlies will continue to monitor Morant's progress closely, with a re-evaluation scheduled in two weeks. The team has gone 8-12 since his last appearance, highlighting their dependence on their star point guard's leadership and production to make a serious postseason push. Without Morant's scoring and playmaking, Memphis faces an uphill battle to climb the standings with the regular season entering its final stretch.
