Ja Morant Out for Grizzlies with Shoulder Injury
Ja Morant is currently out due to a right shoulder injury. The Memphis Grizzlies will be without their star point guard as he recovers. This injury was first noted on December 27, 2024, and has kept him off the court since then.
What It Means
This news is significant for the Memphis Grizzlies as Ja Morant is a key player on their team. He averages 21.2 points per game and 7.9 assists per game this season. His absence will impact their performance, especially in scoring and playmaking.
The team will rely on Marcus Smart and Scotty Pippen Jr. to fill the void at point guard. Marcus Smart averages 9.2 points per game while Scotty Pippen Jr. scores 10.9 points per game. Both players will need to step up in Morant’s absence.
