Grizzlies guard Ja Morant injury update

The Memphis Grizzlies yesterday provided the following medical updates for guard Ja Morant, forward Brandon Clarke and center Zach Edey:

Morant continues to progress in his rehabilitation of a UCL sprain in his left elbow. 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. 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.

Clarke continues to progress in his rehabilitation of a right calf strain, but recent imaging indicated that additional healing is required prior to clearance for high-intensity court work. Clarke will continue his rehabilitation program 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.

Edey today underwent a procedure to address lingering discomfort in his left elbow. He is expected to make a full recovery ahead of the 2026-27 season.
