This Thursday (11), the Memphis Grizzlies announced that point guard Marcus Smart faces a period of absence of approximately six weeks due to the rupture of the proximal interphalangeal joint in the central part of the right ring finger. The injury occurred during the victory over the Dallas Mavericks last Tuesday (9), when Smart dislocated his finger in the third quarter and did not return to the game.
After the confrontation, the point guard expressed discomfort in his finger, but said he felt “great” and announced that he was undergoing an MRI. The injury occurred when Dallas guard Kyrie Irving rebounded the ball, hitting Smart’s finger. After a three-point shot on the next possession, Smart noticed a strange and different sensation in his finger, resulting in his immediate exit from the game.

At the start of the season, the 29-year-old had already missed the Grizzlies for 17 games due to a sprained left foot, only returning on December 26th. To date, Smart has posted impressive averages of 14.5 points (the highest of his career), 2.7 rebounds and 4.3 assists in the 20 games he has played in.
The Grizzlies face several absences throughout the season, especially that of guard Ja Morant, diagnosed with a subluxation in his right shoulder and an underlying injury to his glenoid labrum, which will prevent him from taking the court for the remainder of the 2023-24 season. Currently, the team is in 13th place in the Western Conference, with a record of 14 wins and 23 losses.
