Marcus Smart is now regarded as week-to-week due to injury, according to the Memphis Grizzlies. He has been diagnosed with a sprained right ankle, which will keep him sidelined for an indefinite period. In addition, teammate Desmond Bane is also out with a right oblique strain, compounding the team’s challenges.

Both players suffered their injuries during Wednesday night’s matchup against the Brooklyn Nets, creating a significant void in the lineup. Smart’s defensive skills and leadership are crucial for the Grizzlies, and his absence will require other players to step up in both offensive and defensive roles.

The team is hopeful that Smart will make a swift recovery, but they are focused on managing his rehabilitation and ensuring he returns fully healthy before rejoining the action.
