After
missing
25
games
due
to
being
suspended,
Ja
Morant
will
now
miss
the
rest
of
the
season
to
undergo
shoulder
surgery.
Ja
Morant
is
the
face
of
the
Memphis
Grizzlies
and
what
many
would
call
their
only
shot
at
an
NBA
Championship.
To
start
this
season
he
missed
25
games
after
being
suspended
for
his
second
social
media
gun-flashing
incident.
During
his
time
away
from
the
team,
the
Grizzlies
struggled
to
hit
a
winning
streak
or
find
chemistry
but
once
he
returned
they
recorded
six
wins
in
less
than
10
games.
Now,
however,
it
looks
like
things
have
come
to
an
end
for
Morant’s
season.
According
to
ESPN,
Memphis’
hope
has
been
taken
away
as
an
MRI
revealed
a
labrum
tear
in
Ja’s
shoulder.
This
will
require
surgery
and
sideline
him
for
the
rest
of
the
2023-2024
season.
The
Memphis
Grizzlies
released
a
statement
on
Morant
saying:
At
Saturday’s
training
session,
Morant
suffered
a
subluxation
of
his
right
shoulder.
Following
ongoing
soreness
and
instability,
Morant
underwent
an
MRI
that
revealed
an
underlying
labral
tear.
Morant
will
undergo
season-ending
surgery
and
is
expected
to
make
a
full
recovery
ahead
of
the
2024-25
season.
If
you’ve
paid
any
attention
to
the
NBA
over
the
last
few
seasons
you
know
the
young
Grizzlies
team
is
fun
to
watch
and
the
squad
has
great
chemistry.
Hopefully,
Ja
can
make
a
full
recovery
before
it’s
too
late
and
that
chemistry
becomes
a
thing
of
the
past.
