Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant's absence from the lineup appears to be a short one after a lower back injury.

Grizzlies star Ja Morant has been great this season, but his jump shot has not been falling like normal. In Monday's loss, Morant put up 23 points on 7-21 shooting from the field and 2-8 from deep with 6 turnovers. The star point guard spoke out following Monday's loss, putting most of the blame on himself after a poor performance.

Ja Morant received an important injury update ahead of the Grizzlies' game on Thursday night against the Warriors.
