Ja Morant
January 2026
Morant is expected to miss at least the next three weeks after spraining the ulnar collateral ligament in his left elbow, another disruption in a season where he has played 20 of 43 games. The injury happened in the loss to the Hawks and was confirmed by the team, with a re-evaluation timeline set. It follows a recent calf absence and continues an interrupted campaign amid ongoing trade speculation.
