The problems follow one another at a crazy pace for Memphis, already deprived of six players (Ja Morant suspended, and Marcus Smart, Luke Kennard, Brandon Clarke, Xavier Tillman but also Steven Adams, injured) and which has officially lost Jake LaRavia for an estimated duration of two to three weeks.
The Grizzlies winger suffers from an unusual injury: a corneal tear in the left eye ! This is serious enough for the player to be forced to undergo surgery.
Drafted in 19th position in 2022 by the Wolves before being traded, Jake LaRavia has participated in five games since the start of the season, and will therefore not be the Grizzlies’ most significant loss.
This is still a possible rotation less for Taylor Jenkins, and it is all the more damaging for the person concerned since he had just been recalled from the G-League where he had spent the last three weeks.
