Jock Landale Exits Grizzlies Game Against Mavs Due to Injury
In a recent game against the Dallas Mavericks, Jock Landale of the Memphis Grizzlies exited due to neck soreness. This incident occurred on November 22 at the American Airlines Center, shortly after the game began.
Details of Jock Landale’s Injury
Landale experienced discomfort in his neck during the first quarter and was subsequently taken to the locker room. By halftime, the Grizzlies confirmed that he would not return to the game.
Impact on the Team
With Landale sidelined, the Memphis Grizzlies face significant challenges. Currently, the team has only one available center, as they are already missing Jaren Jackson Jr. and Brandon Clarke. These players are typically primary options at the center position.
- Jock Landale: Injured – neck soreness
- Jaren Jackson Jr.: Injured
- Brandon Clarke: Injured
- Zach Edey: Only healthy center but under minutes restriction
- Santi Aldama and Olivier-Maxence Prosper: Expected to play more minutes at center
Team Adjustments
In response to their thinning roster, the Grizzlies recently waived PJ Hall to accommodate Jahmai Mashack, aiming to bolster their depth at the point guard position.
As the Grizzlies navigate this injury crisis, the team will rely on the remaining players to step up. The situation remains fluid as they assess the extent of Landale’s injury moving forward.
