Ja Morant suffered another injury setback this season on Friday against the New Orleans Pelicans while fighting over a Daniel Theis screen later in the third quarter. Morant took a brutal hit to his shoulder and immediately went down in pain, clutching on his right side. He sustained the blow on the same shoulder, which forced him to miss the remainder of the 2023-24 season after a nine-game run.
According to the latest injury update provided by the Grizzlies, Morant is 'week to week,' citing a Grade I AC joint sprain. The star point guard played 20 out of 33 games this season, missing one game with this shoulder issue and others because of back, knee, hip, and thigh injuries.
