Grizzlies' Marcus Smart: Questionable for Wednesday

Game Status

Marcus Smart, the starting point guard for the Memphis Grizzlies, is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder due to a right ankle sprain.

Injury Details

Smart suffered the injury during the Grizzlies' 112-100 loss to the Golden State Warriors on Monday night. He left the game in the third quarter and did not return.

An MRI on Tuesday revealed a Grade 1 sprain of the ankle. Smart is expected to miss at least one game and could be out longer depending on the severity of the sprain.

Impact on the Grizzlies

Smart is a key player for the Grizzlies, averaging 12.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 7.1 assists per game this season.

His absence would be a big blow to the Grizzlies, who are currently fighting for a playoff spot in the Western Conference.

Tyus Jones would likely start in Smart's place if he is unable to play on Wednesday.

What's Next?

The Grizzlies will provide an update on Smart's status on Wednesday before the game against the Thunder.

If Smart is unable to play, the Grizzlies will need to find a way to replace his production both on offense and defense.
