Rough news out of Memphis, fam. Grizzlies center Isaiah Stewart is gonna be reevaluated in two weeks, all because of a moderate left ankle sprain. The team dropped that update on October 9th, and it’s already got fans sweating the start of the season.
The Preseason Disaster
Dude played *two minutes*. That’s it! Stewart got hurt on October 5th during the preseason opener against the Atlanta Hawks. He was just trying to do his job, defending a shot at the rim, when he fell and twisted that ankle. They pulled him out in the first quarter, and he never came back. Just two minutes on the floor before this whole mess started. Talk about a brutal start to the year.
Missing Opening Night
So what does two weeks mean? Well, it means Stewart isn’t gonna be available for their season-opening matchup on October 21st. That’s against the Utah Jazz, and man, missing your starting big for opening night? That’s a huge blow right out of the gate. The Grizzlies have gotta figure out who steps up now, with a key piece sidelined before the real games even begin.
It’s a tough break, literally, and we’ll be watching closely to see what that reevaluation brings in a couple of weeks. Hope Stewart gets back on the court soon, but for now, Memphis is kicking off the season shorthanded.
