Ja Morant News
Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant (shoulder) is on schedule with his recovery and is expected to be cleared for basketball activities halfway through the offseason. The Grizzlies star had his 2023-24 campaign limited to only nine games after he underwent surgery on his right shoulder in January. Despite missing the first 25 games of the season with a suspension, Morant was on fire right away when he returned to the court, posting 25.1 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 8.1 assists. Hopefully, Morant doesn't suffer any setbacks over the summer, and we can finally enjoy his talents over the course of a full season. Various issues have resulted in Morant playing in only 190 regular-season the past four years.
According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (shoulder) will undergo season-ending surgery. The 24-year-old suffered a subluxation of his right shoulder on Saturday. After experiencing soreness, he underwent an MRI. Unfortunately, the results weren't good, with the MRI revealing a labral tear in Morant's shoulder. It's a tough blow for Morant, who returned to the court in December after serving a 25-game suspension. In nine appearances this season, he averaged 25.1 points, 8.1 assists, and 5.8 rebounds. The Grizzlies struggled without the 2019 No. 2 overall pick, although the team was 6-3 when he was on the floor. Nevertheless, with Morant out of the equation, Desmond Bane, Marcus Smart, and Jaren Jackson Jr. should get more scoring opportunities. Additionally, guys like Luke Kennard, Jacob Gilyard, Santi Aldama, Vince Williams Jr., and Derrick Rose (thigh) are worth monitoring in deeper fantasy leagues.
Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (shoulder) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Morant sat out of Sunday's game as well due to right shoulder soreness. His absence allowed Luke Kennard to move into the starting five. However, Vince Williams Jr. was the better fantasy option between the two. Williams scored 19 points with nine rebounds and two blocks in 37 minutes. He figures to have a similar role on Tuesday, which should make him worth a look in fantasy leagues.
Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Morant is dealing with right shoulder soreness, but has only missed one game since he returned from his suspension. Vince Williams Jr. (foot) started in that one game Morant missed, but he's also questionable for Sunday. That means, Ziaire Williams and Luke Kennard would see bigger roles if both players are forced to sit out. Fantasy managers will have to check back closer to tip-off for another update.
