The season of Ja Morant has ended.

The Memphis Grizzlies revealed on Monday night that Morant will need season-ending surgery in the coming days due to a ruptured labrum in his right shoulder. The club said that Morant suffered the injury during a Saturday training session, and on Monday, an MRI verified the ailment.
The precise incident in practice that resulted in the injury is unknown. When the next season begins, it is anticipated that the 24-year-old will be completely healed.

This season, Morant only appeared in nine Grizzlies games due to a 25-game ban he received in June for publicly displaying a pistol on social media. This was merely Morant’s second off-court incident in as many months. After flashing what seemed to be a pistol at a Colorado nightclub and being connected to events in which he reportedly beat a youngster at home and threatened the head of security at a Memphis mall, he received an eight-game suspension the previous season. After a heated game the previous season, his group reportedly threatened Indiana Pacers employees as well.
