Memphis Grizzlies injury update for April 3

The injury report for the Memphis Grizzlies includes eight players: John Konchar (heel) is unlikely to play, while Yuta Watanabe (personal), Vince Williams Jr. (knee), Desmond Bane (back), Marcus Smart (finger), Derrick Rose (groin/back), Ziaire Williams (hip), and Ja Morant (right shoulder) will not be available.

The Status of Marcus Smart’s Injury

Despite initial hopes for his return this season, Marcus Smart has been sidelined since Jan. 9 due to a rupture in the central slip of his right hand’s proximal interphalangeal joint. However, given the Grizzlies’ current position far from playoff contention, it would be wise to exercise caution in rushing Smart back into game action.

Despite only playing in 20 games during the 2023-24 season, Marcus Smart is determined to make a bigger impact in his second year with Memphis. He still has two years left on his contract and is focused on improving his performance. Despite his limited appearances, Smart was able to average 14.5 points, 2.7 rebounds, 4.3 assists, and 2.1 steals in 30.3 minutes per game.
