No team has been more injured than the Memphis Grizzlies this season. With countless injuries to key players, Memphis has relied on several players not on the roster to start the season, but they recently made NBA history by starting the season with their 31st player. .
When newly signed guard Xavier Simpson checked in for Saturday's game against the Orlando Magic, the Grizzlies set an NBA record for the most players used in a single season.
Memphis has discovered some strong players that they believe will help the team beyond this season, but records like this can only be set in a year that doesn't go as planned. The Grizzlies have successfully used all of the injuries as an opportunity to highlight different players, but all of these injuries have left the Grizzlies far out of the postseason picture as the season draws to a close.
While there is some optimism in Memphis that the team can re-enter the playoff picture next season, it has certainly been a disappointing year. Ja Morant started the season missing 25 games due to suspension, but Memphis only brought him back for nine games before a shoulder injury forced him to miss the rest of the season.
It's been a tough year for Memphis, but they hope to bounce back next season.
