The Memphis Grizzlies will be without their superstar Ja Morant for the remainder of the season after it was revealed that the two-time All-Star would need to undergo surgery on his right shoulder. Morant is expected to be fully recovered for the 2024-25 season.
Morant suffered a subluxation of his right shoulder during a practice session with his team on Saturday, ruling him out of Sunday’s 115-121 win on the road against the Phoenix Suns. He consequently underwent an MRI that revealed that he had suffered an underlying labral tear, requiring him to undergo surgery.
This is the second Grizzlies star to have a season-ending surgery during the current campaign. Steven Adams will also be out for the season after he underwent surgery to repair the PCL in his right knee. He has been sidelined since last January as a result. Currently, the Grizzlies find themselves 13th in the Western Conference with a 13-23 record.
