Grizzlies dealing with loss of Ja Morant for season
The Memphis Grizzlies were still in a bit of shock a day after learning that All-Star guard Ja Morant is out for the remainder of the season with a shoulder injury
DALLAS (AP) — The Memphis Grizzlies were still in a bit of shock a day after learning that All-Star guard Ja Morant is out for the remainder of the season with a shoulder injury.
Morant was injured during practice Saturday, the Grizzlies said. The two-time All-Star was in a sling for a game against Phoenix on Sunday, and the season-ending news came a day later.
“Obviously, we’re devastated,” Memphis coach Taylor Jenkins said. “Devastated for Ja, everything that he’s been doing all season long to get back to this point, playing really good basketball, the team’s starting to play really good basketball.”
The news was a shock to Jenkins and his team, which learned the results of Morant’s MRI on Monday night in Dallas. They play the Mavericks on Tuesday night.
