The Memphis Grizzlies will be down at least one guard that has been a vital part of head coach Tuomas Iisalo's rotation when his team takes the floor in Minneapolis, and that's before a determination is made on whether point guard Ja Morant will be available.
The Memphis Grizzlies can't seem to catch a break this season. All-Star point guard Ja Morant was out for a number of games with a calf injury. Then, Zach Edey suffered an ankle injury of his own.
In a league conditioned to spotlight stars, Tuomas Iisalo has been careful to redirect attention toward the connective tissue holding the Memphis Grizzlies together.
Tuomas Iisalo had barely finished addressing a locker room caught between celebration and concern before stepping to the podium and offering a revealing snapshot of how the Memphis Grizzlies are wired.
Christmas and the NBA go hand-in-hand. The day serves for the top hoops league in the world, like Thanksgiving for the NFL. However, while the Detroit Lions and Dallas Cowboys are perpetual Thanksgiving participants, the NBA has mixed up the matchups and the teams throughout the years.
Steph Curry and his brother Seth may be teammates, but there's a different Golden State Warriors guard with a talented brother tearing up the NBA right now.
For most teams, the sight of a superstar like Ja Morant limping off the floor in the fourth quarter would trigger a crisis. For Jaren Jackson Jr.’s new-look Memphis Grizzlies, it was merely the latest chapter in a season-long manual on adaptation Tuomas Iisalo has been forced to write from scratch.
It was another mixed night on the injury front for Memphis. The Grizzlies picked up an impressive 18-point road win over the Clippers on Monday, but Ja Morant exited late in the fourth quarter after turning his left ankle on a drive to the basket.
They say confidence is everything, and for Cam Spencer that's just the case. The Grizzlies 53rd overall pick in 2024 has been on a tear, most recently in a career high night against the Los Angeles Clippers.
Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant played just under 21 minutes of his team's 121-103 win over the L.A. Clippers, but his final action on the court could yield dire consequences.

Grizzlies wing John Konchar has undergone successful surgery to repair a torn ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) in his left thumb, the team announced today in a press release (Twitter link).
The L.A. Clippers have incredibly won just three of their last 20 games, dumped Chris Paul and have the New Orleans Pelicans to thank in keeping them from residing in the Western Conference basement.
Ja Morant returned to action Friday night after missing ten games with a right calf strain, finishing with 21 points and 10 assists, according to Clay Bailey of the Associated Press.
