Trail Blazers' Ja Morant: Out four weeks with hamstring strain
Morant has been diagnosed with a Grade 2 left hamstring strain and is expected to miss four weeks, Portland announced Friday.
Morant left Thursday's game early with a hamstring injury, which has since been revealed to be a strain that will result in a monthlong absence. The star guard leaves a major void in the Trail Blazers' starting backcourt, one that figures to be filled by Jrue Holiday for the foreseeable future.

Trail Blazers' Ja Morant: Departs with hamstring issue
Morant won't return to Thursday's game against the Grizzlies due to a left hamstring injury. He'll end with 14 points (6-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt), two rebounds and three assists in 23 minutes.
The game was already out of reach when Morant was ruled out for the remainder of the fourth quarter. The severity of his injury is unclear at this time. The 27-year-old can be considered questionable for Saturday's matchup in Utah until further notice.

Trail Blazers' Ja Morant: Solid down the stretch
Morant accumulated 23 points (9-13 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT) and four assists over 31 minutes during Tuesday's 136-129 win over the Lakers.
Morant was extremely efficient in the win, hitting nine of his 13 shots and scoring on back-to-back midrange jumpers to put Portland up five in the final minutes. The guard has fit in quickly alongside Damian Lillard and Deni Avdija, giving the Blazers another closer in a balanced attack. Thursday's matchup with Memphis carries extra intrigue as he faces his former team.

Trail Blazers' Ja Morant: Collects seven assists in victory
Morant closed with 12 points (5-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 27 minutes during Friday's 128-120 win over the Kings.
Morant took a back seat as a scorer and finished second on the team in assists behind Jrue Holiday. Portland acquired Morant from Memphis in an offseason trade that sent Jerami Grant and Kris Murray to the Grizzlies. He's still finding his place alongside Deni Avdija and Damian Lillard, and it may take a couple of weeks for his role to crystallize.

Trail Blazers' Ja Morant: Strong showing in Blazers debut
Morant ended with 14 points (6-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt), five rebounds, eight assists and three steals over 23 minutes during Wednesday's 124-83 victory over Phoenix.
While backcourt-mate Damian Lillard led all scorers with 25 points, Morant led Portland in assists and had an efficient shooting night as well. Simply staying on the court will be Morant's top priority after he suited up for only 79 regular-season games over his final three seasons in Memphis, but he's healthy to begin 2026-27 and is getting a clean slate with the Blazers.

Trail Blazers' Ja Morant: Efficient in preseason finale
Morant logged 19 points (8-10 FG, 3-3 3PT, 0-1 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one steal over 27 minutes during Friday's 128-118 preseason loss to the Warriors.
Morant was back in the starting lineup for Friday's preseason finale after coming off the bench against the Kings on Tuesday. He looked good starting next to Damian Lillard, with the duo combining for 42 points. It'll be interesting to see how the Trail Blazers manage their four-guard rotation of Lillard, Morant, Scoot Henderson and Jrue Holiday (rest) over the course of the 2026-27 season.

Trail Blazers' Ja Morant: Stands out with second unit
Morant posted 14 points (4-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-9 FT), two rebounds, six assists and one steal during Tuesday's 110-98 preseason win over the Kings.
Coming off the bench for the first time this preseason, Morant had his best showing yet, leading Portland in assists without committing a turnover. Coach Micah Nori is still experimenting with his four-guard rotation, and it's still anyone's guess how the small-ball approach will shake out when the season begins.

Morant finished with five points (2-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt), five assists and three steals across 14 minutes in Monday's 119-66 preseason victory over the London Lions.
Although Morant struggled to find his scoring touch, he led Portland in assists and steals while committing just one turnover. The veteran guard showed encouraging playmaking in limited minutes as he continues to adjust to his new surroundings. Morant is expected to play a prominent role in Portland's backcourt, though his preseason workload has remained relatively light.
