Morant was destabilized midair by a Lakers player, causing him to fall into extreme right hip flexion, resulting in a posterior hip subluxation.
As one of three starters sidelined week-to-week, Morant's absence adds to the Grizzlies' injury woes, confounding their plans after last season's struggles.
Despite injuries limiting him previously, Morant has started this season strong, posting impressive averages of 20.6 points and 9.1 assists per game.
The Grizzlies, already coping without guards Desmond Bane and Marcus Smart, now face additional challenges with Morant's recent injury leaving them short-handed.
