Ja Morant (Surgery) Out For Season

Monday night was sad for Memphis Grizzlies fans as the team revealed that Ja Morant required shoulder surgery and will be out for the remainder of the season.

It was an absolute gut punch to the team as Memphis finally returned to their winning ways after Morant returned from his 25-game suspension.

The 24-year-old injured his shoulder during Saturday’s training session, and while an injury did occur, nobody believed it to be season-ending. That was until ongoing soreness and flareups were happening to the extent that an MRI needed to take place; this led to them shutting down Morant for the remainder of the season.

In nine games since his return, Ja Morant averaged 25 points and eight assists in 35 minutes per game.
