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.

If the Memphis Grizzlies are to overcome the Golden State Warriors in the second round of the 2022 NBA Playoffs, they will have to do it without their best player in Ja Morant. According to multiple reports, Morant is dealing with a bone bruise and is doubtful to return for the remainder of the postseason.

Memphis believes that Morant got hurt in Game 3 of the Warriors series when Jordan Poole grabbed his knee while going for a steal. The All-Star guard later underwent an MRI test that revealed a bone bruise, although the Grizzlies didn’t announce the info right away.

Morant missed the past two games of the series including the Grizzlies’ 134-95 blowout win on Wednesday night. But despite the fact that Memphis found ways to stay competitive, it is hard to imagine them overcoming Golden State let alone making a championship run without Morant on the floor.

The former second overall pick averaged 27.4 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 6.7 assists per game as the Grizzlies finished the regular season as the No. 2 seed in Western Conference. These performances got Moranthis first All-Star nod while he also took home the NBA’s Most Improved Player award.

Morant has been slow to get going in the playoffs, having several off games in the first-round series against the Timberwolves. However, he has been on fire in three games against Golden State, averaging 38.3 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 8.3 assists.

The Memphis Grizzlies won’t rush their star point guard Ja Morant to get back on the court. According to the team’s head coach Taylor Jenkins, Morant will be sidelined for at least two more weeks due to soreness in his right knee.

Morant missed a week’s worth of action so far after hurting his knee in a 120-105 loss to the Atlanta Hawks on March 19. By shutting him down for two more weeks, the Grizzlies are looking to ensure that the 22-year-old All-Star makes a full recovery and is ready for the playoffs. 

“We expect him to make a full recovery before the playoffs, and we’re excited about that with two and a half weeks left in the season,” Jenkins told reporters on Thursday. “We’ll offload him early, then he’ll start reloading pretty soon here with that two weeks in mind to reevaluate.”

Ja Morant has been playing on an impressive level so far in the 2021-22 season. He has averaged career numbers across the board, including 27.6 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 6.7 assists per game. This helped him get his first All-Star appearance while propelling the Grizzlies to a championship contender tier.

The Memphis Grizzlies are currently second in the Western Conference with a 50-23 record. This is only the fifth time Memphis managed to hit the 50-win mark in franchise history and the first time since 2014–15.

Murray State’s Ja Morant, projected to be the second overall pick in upcoming NBA Draft, underwent knee surgery on Monday.

According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, Morant had a minor arthroscopic procedure in order to remove a loose body in his right knee. Reportedly, the 19-year-old guard is expected to make a full recovery in four weeks.

Following the procedure, Morant went on his social media and shared with his followers that the surgery was a successful one.

Ja Morant is coming off a breakthrough sophomore season with Murray State in which he averaged 24.5 points per game and helped the Racers to the second round of NCAA Division I Tournament. Morant also added the division-leading 10.0 assists alongside 5.7 rebounds and 1.8 steals per game.

Thanks to his stellar performances at college, Morant captured the attention of NBA scouts and is considered as the best player in this year’s draft class after Duke’s Zion Williamson. He will most likely be drafted by Memphis Grizzlies, who hold the No.2 pick.

Grizzlies are reportedly ready to get into a full rebuild mode and will make Morant the face of the franchise. We will find out whether this will turn out to be true on June 20th, when the 2019 NBA Draft is set to take place.
