MEMPHIS Grizzlies guard Ja Morant will undergo season-ending surgery on his right shoulder, the team said on Monday.
The 24-year-old suffered a subluxation of his right shoulder during a training session on Saturday and an MRI revealed an underlying labral tear, the Grizzlies added.
“Morant will undergo season-ending surgery and is expected to make a full recovery ahead of the 2024-25 season,” the team said in a statement.
Mr. Morant was suspended without pay by the NBA for the first 25 games of the season after the league found he had displayed a firearm in a car in a live-streamed video.
The Grizzlies won four straight games and he was named Western Conference Player of the Week in his first week back. — Reuters
