After the end of Ja Morant’s season, the Memphis Grizzlies suffered another hard blow on Thursday. Marcus Smart, their playmaker, voted best NBA defender in 2022, will be away from the courts for at least six weeks. He suffers from an injury to a finger (the ring finger) of his right hand.
Smart was injured Tuesday during the Grizzlies’ victory over the Dallas Mavericks (120-103). Arriving this season in Memphis from Boston, the playmaker averaged 14.5 points, 4.3 assists, 2.7 rebounds and 2.1 steals per game. In the absence of Marcus Smart, the Tennessee franchise, ranked 13th in the Western Conference, will rely on Desmond Bane and Luke Kennard, or even Derrick Rose.
