Memphis Grizzlies' Ja Morant remains out vs Clippers; Will miss third consecutive game
Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant will remain sidelined.
Morant is listed as out to play against the Los Angeles Clippers on Friday night (9:30 p.m., ESPN). He has missed the last two games while dealing with a hamstring injury.
Injuries have hurt Morant's ability to be consistently available all season. He's played in 43 of the Grizzlies' 70 games. Memphis (43-27) has a 15-12 record this season when Morant is unavailable.
Along with his hamstring injury, Morant has also recently been bothered by right shoulder soreness. He played through the pain in recent contests before missing the previous two games.
Memphis will also be without Brandon Clarke, who left Wednesday's loss against the Portland Trail Blazers due to a right knee injury. GG Jackson remains on a G League assignment, and forward Lamar Stevens is also nursing a shoulder injury.
