The Memphis Grizzlies, plagued by injuries, have become the most injury-ridden team in the league this season. Their campaign has faced numerous challenges, starting with the suspension of their All-Star guard Ja Morant, who was set to miss the first 25 games. Unfortunately, Morant’s playing time was cut short, and almost every starter on the team has had to sit out due to various ailments.
In light of their misfortunes, the Milwaukee Bucks and Los Angeles Lakers have reportedly made inquiries about trading for Marcus Smart, a veteran guard. According to Jake Fischer of Yahoo Sports, both teams have reached out to the Grizzlies in hopes of acquiring Smart. However, the Grizzlies have firmly rejected any offers for the former Defensive Player of the Year.
Despite the injuries and their less-than-stellar record, the Grizzlies have shown incredible resilience and determination in every game. They have even managed to keep the score close in several losses, demonstrating the potential and depth of their roster. It comes as no surprise that they have no intention of dismantling their team, as they have great confidence in their future once they regain full strength.
Although Smart has also faced injury setbacks, he remains one of the league’s best defensive players. Furthermore, his veteran leadership and strong presence in the locker room are invaluable assets. The Grizzlies believe they will overcome their current challenges and continue to thrive. In addition, they are poised to add another top-10 pick to their already impressive core.
