Ja Morant To Miss At Least Two Games
2 years agoMemphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant will be "away from the team for at least the next two games," according to a statement released by the organization. The 23-year-old has averaged 27.1 points, 8.2 assists, and 1.1 steals in 53 appearances this season. However, Morant's name has been tied to various off-the-court incidents, with the Washington Post publishing a story recently of an alleged incident from last summer involving a 17-year-old boy that may have included the MVP candidate brandishing a firearm. To make matters worse, Morant received even more scrutiny after he was observed on Sunday morning displaying what appeared to be a handgun during an Instagram Live video. Without question, fantasy managers are hoping he turns his behavior around and gets back on the floor. But until Morant returns, Tyus Jones, who has averaged 18.8 points, 7.7 assists, and 2.4 steals in nine starts this season, is an automatic lock for starting fantasy lineups.
