Grizzlies’ Marcus Smart sidelined for 3-5 weeks due to foot injury

Grizzlies guard Marcus Smart will miss three to five weeks with a sprained left foot. Memphis provided details about Smart’s injury Friday. He hurt his foot Tuesday night in a loss to the Los Angeles Lakers.

Smart ranks third on the Grizzlies scoring 12.5 points a game. He also leads Memphis with five assists and two steals per game and had been one of only four Grizzlies to play each of the first 11 games with Desmond Bane, Jaren Jackson Jr. and David Roddy.

Memphis already has two-time All-Star guard Ja Morant suspended for the first 25 games this season. Center Steven Adams was ruled out before the season started needing surgery for a knee first hurt last January. Brandon Clarke is busy recovering from a left Achilles tendon torn last March.

The Grizzlies also declared out Xavier Tillman Sr. with a left knee injury, Luke Kennard with a bone bruise in his left knee, and rookie GG Jackson II (two-way transfer) for Saturday night’s game at San Antonio. But guard Derrick Rose is questionable after missing seven games with an injured left knee. Memphis, the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference each of the past two seasons, currently is last in the West with a 2-9 record.
