Memphis Grizzlies All-Star guard Ja Morant’s season has come to an end.
On Monday, the team announced that Morant will undergo season-ending shoulder surgery.
According to the team, the 24-year-old suffered a right shoulder subluxation at Saturday’s training session. Following ongoing soreness and instability, Morant underwent an MRI that revealed an underlying labral tear.
He is expected to make a full recovery ahead of the 2024-25 season, according to the team.
Morant, who was suspended for the first 25 games of the season, appeared in nine games for the Grizzlies. He averaged 25.1 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 8.1 assists per contest. Memphis is 6-3 with Morant in the lineup this season, but they are 7-20 without him, and they will have to navigate the rest of the season without him.
The Grizzlies have battled injuries all season long, but this injury to Morant puts an end to any hopes they had of making the playoffs in 2024.
