5 teams have officially missed the playoffs, which team is the most regrettable absence?

The NBA season has come to an end, with more than ten games left, there are already 5 teams that have been confirmed to miss the playoffs, these five teams are the Spurs, Pistons, Wizards, Hornets and Grizzlies, so which team do you think is the most regrettable to miss this year's playoffs, I believe many fans will think that it is the Grizzlies like the author, from the second place in the West last season to the playoffs 12 rounds ahead of schedule this season, this Grizzlies is a pity.

After losing to the Warriors, the Grizzlies also improved their record to 23-47 this season, and with 12 games left in the season, the Grizzlies are officially out of the playoffs. As the second team in the West last season, the Grizzlies' failure to make the playoffs this season is mainly due to injuries and suspensions, first of all, Morant's 25-game ban is a huge blow to the team, the team is leaderless, and no player can finish the game at a critical time, which also led to the team's consecutive losses in the early part of the season. In the 25 games Morant missed, the Grizzlies finished with a 6-19 record and finished third from the bottom in the West.

In the first four games he played, the Grizzlies won a wave of 4 consecutive wins, ranking 12th in the West, the team is on an upward trend, and Morant can average 28.8 points per game in these four games, and his state has not been affected, and his performance is still so explosive. But bad things happened, Morant suffered a serious injury, which was directly reimbursed for the season, and the team once again lost the absolute core.

To make matters worse, the team suffered a series of injuries, with Adams and Clarke undergoing surgery early in the season, Morant returning to play only nine games for the season, and then Bane and Smart both suffered injuries of varying degrees and missed at least six weeks, with Jaren Jackson Jr., Kennard, Aldama and LaRavia and other players also playing and stopping.

The Grizzlies have had as many as 10 key players absent at the worst of the season, all of whom have been able to play from the Development League, undrafted picks, two-way contracts and young players, and the Grizzlies' injury level this season is too serious, which is the main reason why the team missed the playoffs.

Of course, this season has not been without harvest for the Grizzlies, the team has given a lot of opportunities to young players in the absence of key players, and some players have also seized the opportunity and played in the game, the most shining is last year's second-round pick GG Jackson, this young man who is only 19 years old, can average 13.4 points and 3.7 rebounds per game this season, in the game against the Warriors, GG· Jackson put up a performance of 35 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists, and made 7 three-pointers in a single game, which was quite impressive.

Now that he's fully adapted to the pace and intensity of the NBA, he's shown his potential, and next season, he's expected to be the team's main rotation player and add depth to the Grizzlies. Players like Vince Williams, Aldama, LaRavia and Zaire Williams also had good performances, taking advantage of this rare opportunity and showing their talent in the game.

Wait until the new season, when Morant, Jaren Jackson Jr., Bane, Clarke and Smart and other main players all return, plus the above young players, I believe that the Grizzlies can make a comeback, as long as this roster remains healthy, it is definitely very competitive, and they have a chance to become a strong team in the West again.
