Memphis Grizzlies lose Ja Morant for rest of NBA season

It wasn't any off court issue that did Ja Morant in this season, but a shoulder injury and subsequent surgery. The rehab length for surgery from a labrum tear apparently won't allow Morant to return for any of this season. He's expected to make a full recovery prior to the 2024-2025 NBA season.

Grizzlies say: Morant suffered a subluxation of his right shoulder on Saturday and after ongoing soreness and instability, Morant had MRI that revealed underlying labral tear. Devastating for the All-NBA superstar and the Grizzlies, who have returned to winning ways with Morant. https://t.co/OaVmovhE3z
