Ja Morant is set to rejoin the Memphis Grizzlies after their upcoming game, a timely return considering the team’s ongoing struggles with player injuries. Derrick Rose, who had been starting in Morant’s absence and Marcus Smart’s injury, left the Friday game due to left hamstring tightness.

Rose is expected to be sidelined on a week-to-week basis due to this injury. While Morant has one game left in his 25-game suspension, Marcus Smart is gradually working towards his return, but it will still take a few games before he’s back on the court.
