**MEMPHIS, TN –** Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant will miss Monday’s game against the Sacramento Kings due to left hamstring soreness, the team announced. This marks the 26th game Morant has missed this season and his fifth instance of being sidelined for multiple consecutive games.

Despite averaging an impressive 31.3 points per game on 52.4% shooting over his last six appearances, Morant has been battling nagging injuries throughout the season. He previously sat out Saturday’s game against Miami due to right shoulder soreness. The team’s medical staff will continue to monitor his progress. The Grizzlies will look to their other players to fill the void left by their star player’s absence.
