The Grizzlies released medical updates for Ja Morant, Brandon Clarke, and Zach Edey today (via Twitter), announcing that all three players have officially been ruled out for the remainder of the 2025/26 season.
Morant has been dealing with a sprained ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) in his left elbow and hasn’t played since January 21. In early March, it was announced that he would be reevaluated in two weeks. Today’s update stated that it was recommended that the point guard receive a platelet-rich plasma injection to aid the healing process and that he is expected to make a full recovery before next season.
Clarke has only played two games this season as he works his way back from a right calf strain, but Memphis states that, following recent imaging, they have determined that there is more time needed before he can resume “high-intensity court work.”
Edey, who hasn’t played since the first week of December, had already been expected to miss the rest of the season after undergoing ankle surgery, but the Grizzlies also reported that he had a procedure done to relieve discomfort in his left elbow.
Like Clarke and Morant, Memphis writes that he is expected to make a full recovery for the 2026/27 season.
Haven’t seen this many tanks since Band of Brothers.
