The Memphis Grizzlies’ December carnage continues to pile up.
And happy holidays, Grizzlies fans, Ja Morant should be back with his teammates very soon. dailymemphian.com/section/sports… – 1:44 AM Joe Mullinax @sbnGrizzlies
De’Anthony Melton on the team’s excitement to get Ja Morant back in the mix with how they’re playing right now: They know what 12 can do, and his aggressiveness will feed into it even more. Says he watches a lot of tape, and he’ll find points to pick his aggression – 1:12 AM StatMuse @statmuse
The Grizzlies have won 10 of their last 11, all without Ja Morant.
They have a defensive rating of 97.4 in that span, which would be the 6th best defense since the three-point era (1980). pic.twitter.com/jK8GJ71p2z – 12:30 AM Ja Morant @JaMorant

It’s remarkable what is happening in Memphis. Winners of 10 of their last 11 games, all without Ja Morant. Kings TV spent a huge amount of their broadcast talking about “Grizzlies Culture”. Yes, Grizzlies Culture is a real thing now. As I said, remarkable. – 12:28 AM Ja Morant @JaMorant

More on this storyline

Joe Mullinax: Jenkins expects Ja Morant to be re-evaluated “in a few weeks”. He acknowledges that whatever timeline is eventually set he usually beats it. They’re going to be cautious however. -via Twitter @sbnGrizzlies / November 28, 2021 Jason Anderson: The Memphis Grizzlies have officially ruled out Ja Morant (left knee sprain) for Sunday’s game against the Sacramento Kings. Maurice Harkless (knee) is questionable, Harrison Barnes (foot) is doubtful and Richaun Holmes (illness) is out for for the Kings. -via Twitter @JandersonSacBee / November 27, 2021 Drew Hill: Taylor Jenkins did not give a timeline for Ja Morant’s return. I followed up as and if it will be this season (obvious question, just making sure it got asked). He said it absolutely will be this season. He also expects Desmond Bane to be the secondary ball handler now. -via Twitter @DrewHill_DM / November 27, 2021
