The Memphis Grizzlies have been undermanned all year long. This began with injuries to the second-best player on the team, Jaren Jackson Jr., and key contributor, Justise Winslow. The losses were big and Memphis was fully prepared to play the season with a few gaping holes in their roster.
Then, just four games into the season, Ja Morant caused the entire Grizzlies fanbase to hold their breath for a few seconds in a game against the Nets. After going up for a block, he came down awkwardly and immediately hopped on one leg toward the locker room.
