Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant will reportedly miss several weeks with an ankle issue.

According to Shams Charania, the superstar guard will miss up to five weeks for the Grizzlies with a grade 2 left ankle sprain. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)

The former Murray State sensation went down Monday against the Nets, and had to be taken off of the court in a wheelchair.

Now, it sounds like we know the severity of the situation, and he’s going to miss roughly a month of action.

Is missing up to five weeks of action good? Obviously not. Morant is one of the most electric guards in the entire league.

The NBA needs him out there playing and putting up highlights. Unfortunately, that won’t be happening for a little bit.

As anyone who knows anything about sports injuries will tell you, sprained ankles are no joke. They can be absolutely brutal.

Let’s hope he bounces back better than ever. He’s one of the best players in the NBA, and the league needs him playing at his best.
