Ja Morant will miss the rest of the NBA season: what is the injury he suffers?

The Memphis Grizzlies have announced that Ja Morant, their star player, will miss the rest of the season due to an upcoming shoulder surgery. This decision was made after Morant sustained an injury during a training session on Saturday, where he suffered a partial dislocation of his right shoulder or labrum tear (med.), which is also his shooting side. This was the second brutal injury of the night after Indiana Pacers Tyrese Haliburton suffered a gruesome hamstring injury in the Game against the Boston Celtics. Grizzlies medical team goes for surgery According to the team’s press release, Morant experienced ongoing soreness and instability in his shoulder, which led to his decision to undergo an MRI.

The draw means that Newcastle finish the season in fourth place, while Chelsea finish off in a rather disastrous 12th, having lost 16 Game s.

Steven Adams injury: Grizzlies suffer another blow with big man likely to miss rest of regular season

The hits just keep on coming for the Memphis Grizzlies. The team already lost Brandon Clarke for the remainder of the season to an Achilles injury . They're also currently without All-Star guard Ja Morant for at least the next four Game s after he posted a video with what appeared to be a gun in a nightclub. Now, the Grizzlies announced big man Steven Adams will be out at least the next four weeks as he continues to recover from a PCL sprain in his right knee. That timeline means Adams will likely miss the remainder of the regular season , which isn't ideal for a Grizzlies team that is already in turmoil.  Adams has been out since Jan. 23 with the injury, which he suffered in a game against the Phoenix Suns. The original timeline was 3-5 weeks, but after undergoing a stem cell injection on Wednesday, Memphis said he still needs several more weeks to recover. Adams has historically been one of the most du...
