Biography Flash: Ja Morant's Ankle Sprain Derails Memphis Grizzlies' NBA Season Hopes
Ja Morant Biography Flash a weekly Biography.
Ja Morant is once again dominating NBA headlines, and not just for his explosive plays but for yet another setback that could shape his biography for years to come. According to Sports Illustrated and the Times of India, just a few days ago, Morant suffered a left ankle sprain during a team practice on October 5th, 2025, an injury confirmed by the Memphis Grizzlies the next morning. The official word from the team is that Morant is considered week-to-week, meaning he’ll almost certainly miss key preseason games and could even be questionable for the season opener against the Pelicans on October 22. The timing for this injury could not be worse for Memphis or Morant personally. The Grizzlies ended last season on a high, rallying from a rough 2023-24 campaign to lock up the eighth seed, but their good fortune has evaporated fast. According to Sports Illustrated, the team now has a staggering $478 million sitting on the bench when you add up Morant and other injured stars like Jaren Jackson Jr., Zach Edey, and Brandon Clarke. In fact, Morant has missed more than 40% of potential games since 2021-22 due to various injuries or suspensions, and insiders are openly wondering if he can ever truly be a franchise cornerstone the way Memphis desperately hopes.
This sprain, while not season-ending, disrupts Morant’s much-publicized offseason focus on durability. It also derails the team’s big plan to rebuild around Morant and Jackson after trading away Desmond Bane in the offseason, as reported by the Times of India. In response, the Grizzlies are giving more reps to backup point guards Ty Jerome, Scotty Pippen Jr., and rookie Javon Small for the preseason. Morant’s absence, alongside the injuries to two key big men, means Memphis, a team that averaged over 120 points a game last year, is at serious risk of starting this season in a major hole in a Western Conference that is more stacked than ever.
But it’s not all bad news—for sneakerheads, at least. Pat Benson from Sports Illustrated Sneaker News reports that Morant’s third signature Nike basketball shoe, the Nike Ja 3, has become a massive hit. Morant fueled demand by using his social media to warn fans that custom “Nike By You” editions were selling out fast. He even reposted fans’ creations and paid for some who couldn’t afford their pairs—reminding everyone why, even in his absence, he remains a fan favorite. Morant says he has “the number one shoe in the world” and, with the Ja 3 sold out everywhere, that might not even be an exaggeration.
On social media, Morant has maintained a positive public presence, rallying his supporters and sharing sneaker updates, but has avoided commenting directly on the injury beyond reposting team updates.
In summary, the last few days have thrown yet another wrinkle into the Ja Morant story—a superstar caught between limitless hype and the harsh constraints of injury. Will this latest setback further define him as one of the NBA’s most electric but star-crossed talents, or will Ja Morant finally put the physical woes behind him? Only time will tell, but you can be sure we’ll bring you every twist right here.
