According to the Memphis Grizzlies, Ja Morant is set to miss at least two more weeks due to sprained ulnar collateral ligament in his left elbow.

The 26-year-old has been dealing with this injury since January 21st, as he still continues to feel pain and discomfort in his elbow.

This season, in 20 games, Morant has been averaging 19.5 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 8.1 assists.

According to Marc Stein, the Memphis Grizzlies are looking for at least one first-round pick to comfortably move off of Ja Morant.

Since reports stirred up weeks ago, variations of what Memphis would want has fluctuated from multiple picks and a young player to just a young player; however, now, with official confirmation, the Grizzlies are at least looking for a first-rounder.

Currently, Morant is dealing with an elbow sprain, which will sideline him through the NBA trade deadline. This comes after his eventual return from a calf injury.

Due to shaky statistical play and injuries, the 26-year-old has a very limited trade market. Not many teams, this now includes the New Orleans Pelicans, are wanting to trade for the superstar point guard.

Outside of names like the Miami Heat, there hasn’t been a concrete frontrunner who undoubtedly wants Morant. Right now, it is unclear whether or not he will be moved by the deadline.

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the Memphis Grizzlies will be without superstar Ja Morant for three weeks due to a UCL sprain in his left elbow. This injury was suffered during their game on January 21st.

This current timeline will see him sidelined through the NBA trade deadline, as he is a strong trade candidate on the market right now. The deadline is February 5th.

While it’s unknown if his latest injury will affect teams interest in the point guard, it is currently reported that Morant has a limited market. The Miami Heat have been a consistent team attached to the 26-year-old the last couple of weeks.
