Thu Oct 31 02:10:00 UTC 2024: ## Grizzlies’ Injury Woes Strike Again, Threatening Playoff Hopes
**Memphis, TN** – The Memphis Grizzlies are facing a familiar foe: injuries. Just four games into the season, the team has already suffered key losses to guards Desmond Bane and Marcus Smart.
Bane left Wednesday’s game against the Brooklyn Nets with an oblique injury, while Smart exited with a right ankle injury. Both players are key contributors to the Grizzlies’ rotation and their absence could significantly impact the team’s performance.
This is a recurring theme for Memphis, who have struggled with injuries in recent years. Despite posting back-to-back 50-win seasons, the team saw their record plummet to 27-55 last season due to injuries.
With Ja Morant leading the charge, the Grizzlies have the potential to be a serious playoff contender. However, their ability to stay healthy will be crucial to their success.
“We have a strong, rounded roster that can make the playoffs,” said a Grizzlies spokesperson. “But if we can’t stay healthy, we’ll be in trouble.”
The team is currently 2-2, and will be looking to bounce back from these latest injuries as they face a tough schedule ahead.
