Morant sustained a UCL sprain in his left elbow in the Jan. 21 game against the Hawks, and while he's expected to make a full recovery, he'll be re-evaluated in approximately three weeks. This means Morant won't return to action until probably after the All-Star break, impacting his potential trade value ahead of the Feb. 5 deadline. With Morant on the sidelines, the Grizzlies should turn to Cam Spencer and Vince Williams, although Ty Jerome (calf) should also see minutes at the point once he's fully healthy and ready to play.
Out
B. Clarke
Based on this timetable, a return right after the All-Star break could potentially be on the table for Clarke. The forward has appeared in just two games this season, as he was dealing with a knee issue prior to his latest calf injury.
This is another step in the right direction for Jerome. Based on previous comments from coach Tuomas Iisalo, a return towards the end of January could potentially be on the table for the veteran guard.
After Edey initially sustained the injury Dec. 11, the Grizzlies relayed that the second-year center would be shut down for at least four weeks before being re-evaluated. Despite having spent the past month rehabbing the injury, Edey seemingly hasn't taken any major steps forward in his recovery and will now need another six weeks to let his ankle heal up. As a result of this latest update, Edey appears unlikely to be ready to return to game action until at least early March, making it tough to justify rostering him in most redraft formats. With Brandon Clarke (calf) also facing a long-term absence, Jock Landale should continue to hold down the fort as the Grizzlies' starting center.
Pippen is on a brief assignment to get some extra reps during his recovery from toe surgery, and he'll be recalled following Wednesday's session. The guard has still not made his season debut, but Pippen is tracking toward doing so at some point in the near future and should be ready to go in early February if all goes well.
