The injuries list includes star names such as Ja Morant, Steven Adams, and Derrick Rose.

As a result, the Grizzlies will only have Bismack Biyombo, Desmond Bane, Jaren Jackson Jr., Luke Kennard, Marcus Smart, and Santi Aldama from their original roster.

Consequently, they will have to rely on the roster of their G-League affiliate, the Memphis Hustle, to fill up the remaining spots.

The Grizzlies are off to a difficult start to the season, only having 1 win in 7 games so far. They will host the Miami Heat to turn the tide on the season beginning on November 9, but their injury list may pose a problem.
