Thu Mar 20 04:10:00 UTC 2025: **Grizzlies’ Star Ja Morant to Miss Third Straight Game Against Trail Blazers**

PORTLAND, OR – Memphis Grizzlies star point guard Ja Morant will miss his third consecutive game due to left hamstring soreness when the Grizzlies face the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday night. The injury has sidelined Morant for the past two games, and his absence will be a significant blow to the fifth-seeded Grizzlies (43-26).

Morant, averaging 22.3 points, 7.4 assists, and 4.1 rebounds this season, has been a key contributor to the team’s success. The Grizzlies, currently 5-5 in their last ten games, will look to overcome his absence against a struggling Trail Blazers team (30-39) who are currently 12th in the Western Conference. Portland holds a 4-6 record in their last ten games but has won their last two.

While Morant is out, forward Santi Aldama (right calf strain) has been upgraded to questionable after missing seven of the last eight games. The Grizzlies’ road record is 18-15, and they will next face the LA Clippers on Friday. The game will be played at the Moda Center in Portland.
