Morant will be re-evaluated in two weeks, the team announced on Nov. 17. This means he'll be sidelined for the game against the Denver Nuggets at FedExForum on Nov. 24.

Morant's absence is one of many that has decimated the Grizzlies point guard depth. Scotty Pippen Jr. (toe), Ty Jerome (calf) and Javon Small (toe) are all currently out with injuries.
Vince Williams Jr. and Cam Spencer have played in more primary playmaking roles without the point guards.
Memphis (6-11) is 4-8 when Morant plays this season. The Grizzlies are now 2-3 without Morant after winning their last two games.
