March 25 (UPI) -- Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant will miss the rest of the 2025-26 NBA season as he recovers from an elbow sprain, the team announced.
The Grizzlies announced the injury update Tuesday night. Morant sustained the UCL sprain in his left elbow during a 124-22 loss to the Atlanta Hawks on Jan. 21.
"Following a recent consultation to advise on lingering discomfort, it was recommended that Morant receive a PRP [platelet-rich plasma] injection to further optimize ligament healing," the Grizzlies said.
"Morant will begin offloading the elbow following the injection and will miss the remainder of the 2025-26 season, but he is expected to make a full recovery ahead of the 2026-27 season."
