Until Ja Morant’s return, the Grizzlies managed to win only 5 games. But after his return, the team looked locked in and looked to climb up the West ladder.

However, it didn’t last long for the Grizzlies, as the 24-year-old injured his shoulder during Saturday’s practice session. He also missed his game against the Phoenix Suns, as he sat on the courtside. Later, the MRI scan revealed that he sustained a labrum tear. And the surgery would put him out for the rest of the season. Moreover, he is expected to recover right before the 2024-25 season.
