Being short-handed may be an understatement for the Memphis Grizzlies.
The Grizzlies are expected to be without nine players for a Dec. 20 game against the Washington Wizards (7 p.m., FanDuel Sports Network).
That group includes Grizzlies star point guard Ja Morant, who will miss his second consecutive game due to a left ankle sprain. Vince Williams Jr. is also among the newest additions to the availability report due to left knee soreness.
