All three inside players were injured! The worst team in the NBA was born, Morant made a decision, and the West changed drastically

The new NBA season is about to begin, and many giant teams have made a comeback. The competition in the league is becoming increasingly fierce, and injuries are still the number one enemy of many teams! Tatum and Halliburton had a torn Achilles tendon, the Celtics and the Pacers directly withdrew from the championship; the Great and George were in a capricious condition, and the Sixers could only believe in the process; Van Jordan had a torn Across cruciate ligament, and the Rockets' prospects for the championship were cast a shadow! The Celtics, Pacers, 76ers, and Rockets are all miserable, but compared to the other team, it is simply not worth mentioning. The most miserable team in the NBA has its own unique position!

What I want to say is the Memphis Grizzlies! In the past few years, the Grizzlies have been rising young guards in the West, but have fallen on the road to rise again and again due to injuries. Take last season for example. The Grizzlies were the eighth-ranked West in the playoffs and got a chance to challenge the league's overlord Thunder, but Clark was injured by the high-level battle card, Morant was injured by Dortmund, and the Grizzlies burned out and could not escape, and were swept out by their opponents 0-4. During this offseason, the Grizzlies kept moving forward, first traded upward with the No. 11 pick, then exchanged Bain for Pope + Cole Anthony + 4 unprotected first round + 1 first round swap right, and then renewed Jeren Jackson Jr. for 5 years and $205 million, renewed Aldama for 3 years and $52.5 million, and finally dug up Jerome from the Cavaliers for 3 years and $28 million. The Grizzlies are eager to make a comeback, but the injury problem is an indelible nightmare! According to official news from the Grizzlies, Jaren Jackson Jr. is expected to return after 6-9 weeks due to stability surgery on the left ankle joint; Eddie is expected to return to the arena for 4-6 weeks due to repair of right toe surgery; Clark had already recovered from a sprain of the anterior cruciate ligament of his right knee, but he developed synovitis of the right knee during recent training and needed arthroscopic treatment, and the time for his return is to be determined. For the Grizzlies, all three inside players may not be the end of the world, but it is equivalent to half of the sky falling!

Jaren Jackson Jr. is the absolute offensive and defensive core of the Grizzlies' interior. He played 74 games last season, and averaged 22.2 points + 5.6 rebounds + 2 assists + 1.2 steals + 1.5 blocks + 2 three-pointers; Eddie is a traditional inside and rebounder highly valued by the new Grizzlies coach. He played 66 games last season, and averaged 9.2 points + 8.3 rebounds + 1 assist + 1.3 blocks, with a shooting percentage of up to 58%. Clark is the inside pillar of the Grizzlies' second team. He played 64 games last season, and averaged 8.3 points + 5.1 rebounds + 1 assist, and a shooting percentage of up to 62.1%. Now, the Grizzlies' three major inside players have been injured, and the burden on the inside has fallen on the rising star Aldama. Even if Aldama is covered in iron, how many nails can he make?

Grizzlies' star Morant is also responsible for taking on more! Morant has three years and $126 million left in the contract. He was originally qualified to complete an early renewal with the team this summer, but it ended in failure. Recently, Morant made a new decision! According to Grizzly reporter Drew Hill, Morant plans to negotiate his next contract without an agent. Subsequently, US media followed up and reported that Uncle Morant had just established a new consulting company, and Morant became his uncle's first client. I don’t know if Uncle Morant can complete one maximum salary contract after another like Uncle Ka. I just hope that he will not eat like Uncle Ka and push Morant into the fire pit!

As the saying goes, everything is difficult to start with! The Grizzlies lost all their wounded soldiers at the starting line of the new season, and the western pattern will also change dramatically! Looking ahead to the Western Conference pattern in the new season, the Thunder and the Nuggets are the favorites to compete for the championship. The Timberwolves, Lakers, Clippers, and Rockets also have hopes to compete for the championship. The Warriors, Mavericks, Spurs and Grizzlies are playoff teams. The Pelicans, Suns, Kings, Wizards, and Jazz may not even reach the playoff floor! Now that the Grizzlies' three inside players have all been injured, they may have to lower the level and "join" with the Pelicans, Suns, Kings, Wizards and Jazz! But from another perspective, if the Grizzlies cannot change their fate, then this young team should really break up the team and rebuild it for luck. Once Morant has the idea of ​​leaving the team, it is not only the West, but also the entire NBA league may set off a new round of bloody storm! Fans, what do you think about this? Let me leave me a comment and discuss it.
