According to Shams Charania from The Athletic, Marcus Smart is set to be sidelined for three to five weeks with a left ankle injury.

After getting traded from the Boston Celtics to Memphis, Smart has been averaging 12.5 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 5 assists per game.

The Grizzlies currently hold the third-worst record in the league with two wins and nine losses and are dead last in the Western Conference.
