MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES ANNOUNCE JA MORANT’S SEASON-ENDING INJURY
Ja Morant’s season with the Memphis Grizzlies is officially over due to a torn labrum in his right shoulder. The team announced on Monday night that the 24-year-old point guard will undergo season-ending surgery in the coming days. The injury occurred during a training session on Saturday and was confirmed by an MRI on Monday.
Morant had only played in nine games this season prior to the injury, as he also served a 25-game suspension for brandishing a firearm on social media back in June. This marked the latest in a series of off-court incidents for Morant, including being suspended for eight games last season and being linked to multiple alleged altercations.
He returned from his suspension last month, making an impressive impact with the team. Despite the setbacks, Morant has been averaging 25.1 points, 8.1 assists, and 5.6 rebounds per game this season.
However, this recent injury will prevent Morant from further contributing to the Grizzlies’ performance for the rest of the season. The team will have to continue without him as they take on the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday. Despite the challenges, the Grizzlies have managed to win three of their last four games and are focused on finishing the season strong.
The setback may be disappointing, but Morant remains optimistic and is determined to come back even stronger next season. As he faces this latest hurdle, he continues to express gratitude for the support he has received and the personal growth he has achieved throughout these experiences.
As the situation develops, more information will be provided to the public.
