The Memphis Grizzlies‘ misery doesn’t seem to be ending anytime soon. The franchise has recorded one of their worst years in recent history. It all started with their star player, Ja Morant, inviting a string of controversies to his name. After being suspended for multiple firearms-related acts, Morant is now sitting out the first 25 games of this season.

While the team was still hopeful for a championship season, gut-wrenching news has hit again them. Till the franchise figures out how to come out of this disaster stronger, fans on the internet are losing their minds.

Ja Morant’s suspension is just the tip of an iceberg

The Grizzlies have long maintained that Morant is their star player, and deservingly so. The 24-year-old has all the talent in the world to become a great of the game one day. However, his off-the-court antics have proven to be a real problem for him and the franchise.

Over the years, Morant has had several suspensions which have, in turn, cost the Grizzlies their championship dream. This coming season, they’re going in without their star player on the roster for 25 games. In addition to that, the latest season-ending update on Steven Adams‘ injury has shaken the fanbase to its core.

The Grizzlies heavily depend on Adams for overall performance in the game. The 6’11 star is extremely reliable when it comes to rebounds and makes for a perfect fit at the defense end. However, he has been injured for the most part of this year. His knee injury in January forced him to sit out games for the Memphis franchise.

As per a recent report, he will be undergoing knee surgery now, which is being deemed as potentially season-ending for him. If the predictions turn out to be true, the Grizzlies will be in deep trouble right from the beginning of this season.

This news has caused a massive uproar in the hoop community as the fans are finding it difficult to wrap their head around it.

Grizzlies fans react to the heartbreaking news

No franchise would want to be in this position, their star player is suspended for 25 games and their defense strength is crippling already. This is surely having an impact on the fans as they’re letting out their frustration.

One fan said that this news would be a “real shame” for the franchise.

Some fans are already giving their season predictions, and it’s all negative.

With potentially losing Adams for the rest of this season, one fan believes that their defense will now be in shambles.

One fan said that this update coupled with Morant’s suspension will be the end of Grizzlies this year.

Among the largely negative, sad, and heartbroken responses, there’s one fan who still believes the Grizzlies can turn this around.

Adams’ surgery and recovery will surely be something to look at. If he manages to pull through, that would give the Grizzlies a much-needed boost for now. However, the likelihood of this happening is unfortunately very small.
