Morant faces four-week wait for hamstring reevaluation
October 30, 2026 · Team medical update
Ja Morant will be reevaluated in four weeks after imaging showed a grade two left hamstring strain, the Portland Trail Blazers announced Friday. He was injured during Thursday’s game against Memphis.
Through four games, Morant averaged 15.8 points and 5.5 assists, shooting 54.2% overall and 42.9% from three, according to NBA.com.
Portland now has to redistribute his ballhandling and shot creation while he recovers. The early shooting numbers come from a small sample, but the interruption arrives just as the team is establishing its rotation.
The team’s four-week timetable is for another medical evaluation. A return-to-play date has not been announced.
