Star guard Ja Morant has missed six consecutive games for the Memphis Grizzlies due to a hamstring injury, and it is clear that they are feeling his absence. Without Morant during this stretch, the Grizzlies went 2-4 and now own the No.

Morant initially popped up on the injury report after the game against the Cavs with hamstring soreness. Ahead of Thursday's matchup against the Thunder Grizzlies coach Taylor Jenkins said that Morant is in the "day-to-day phase" of a return.

Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant will sit out against the Oklahoma City Thunder with a strained left hamstring.
