Episode Description

Ja Morant made his expected return to the lineup against the Jazz on Friday, 12/12, but before the game the Grizzlies announced that Zach Edey would be out for at least four weeks with a stress reaction.

After being one of the best defenses since Edey's season debut, Memphis surrendered 130 points to Utah and lost, despite Ja having 21 points and 10 assists in limited minutes. 

On this episode, the game against the Jazz is discussed, including Santi Aldama stepping into the starting lineup, Cedric Coward posting a double-double, Cam Spencer going 6-6 from the 3-point line, and Jaren Jackson struggling once again. 

Also, in addition to the Edey injury news, the team announced John Konchar would be out indefinitely, Javon Small's return is nearing, and Brandon Clarke could make his debut this week.
