WASHINGTON, United States -- Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant has been placed on a week-to-week status with a right hip injury, the NBA club announced on Saturday (Sunday, Manila time). 

The 25-year-old two-time All-Star guard was hurt in Wednesday's 131-114 home victory over the Los Angeles Lakers when he tried to catch a lob in the third quarter and was hit in the air by another player, causing him to land awkwardly.

An MRI exam showed Morant suffered a posterior hip subluxation without dislocation, the joint pulling apart but the bones still touching, and multiple associated Grade 1 (mild) pelvic muscle strains.

Morant is averaging 20.6 points, 9.1 assists and 5.0 rebounds a game this season for the Grizzlies, who are 6-4 and sixth in the Western Conference.

Morant played only nine games last season, sitting out at the start on a 25-game suspension after flashing a gun during a social media session before undergoing season-ending right shoulder surgery last January.
