Ja Morant Injury: Out vs. New Orleans

Published on January 22, 2026

Morant has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Pelicans due to a left elbow sprain.

Morant looked sharp during Wednesday's matchup against Atlanta, finishing with 23 points and 12 assists, but he'll miss at least one matchup after picking up an elbow injury. This presumably means more looks for Cam Spencer and Vince Williams in the backcourt.
