Grizzlies' Ja Morant: Cleared for basketball activities
Rotowire Jul 9, 2024
Morant underwent shoulder surgery in January, but he is fully cleared for all basketball activities this summer, CBSSports.com reports. Due to a 25-game suspension and a major shoulder surgery, Morant appeared in just nine games last season, during which he averaged 25.1 points, 8.1 assists, 5.6 rebounds, 1.4 blocks and 1.4 steals across 35.3 minutes. The 24-year-old had successful surgery on his right shoulder in mid-January, and he is now officially cleared to resume all basketball activities ahead of training camp in the fall. Morant will aim to lead the Grizzlies back to the playoffs after a year ruined by a litany of injuries saw them finish with a 27-55 record.

Grizzlies' Ja Morant: Will be cleared in near future
Rotowire Jun 23, 2024
Morant (shoulder) said Saturday he will be medically cleared for basketball activities in about two weeks, CBSSports.com reports. Morant played only nine games last year due to a 25-game suspension and a major shoulder injury. He averaged 25.1 points, 8.1 assists, 5.6 rebounds, 1.4 blocks and 1.4 steals across 35.3 minutes. The All-Star had successful surgery on his right shoulder in mid-January and will be able to practice soon, meaning he should be 100 percent for next season's training camp. Morant hopes to take the Grizzlies back to the playoffs after a year ruined by injuries saw them finish with a 27-55 record.

Grizzlies' Ja Morant: Still not close to full strength
Rotowire Apr 15, 2024
Morant (shoulder) will be fully cleared for basketball activities halfway through the offseason, Drew Hill of The Daily Memphian reports. Morant underwent successful surgery on his right shoulder in mid-January and remains on track with his rehab. Due to a suspension to start the campaign and then the season-ending procedure, the All-Star point guard appeared in just nine games in 2023-24 and averaged 25.1 points, 8.1 assists, 5.6 rebounds and 1.4 steals-plus-blocks in 35.3 minutes. While injuries decimated Memphis' entire roster all campaign, it doesn't sound like those issues will linger and impact 2024-25.

Grizzlies' Ja Morant: Undergoes successful surgery
Rotowire Jan 11, 2024
Morant underwent successful surgery on his right shoulder Thursday and will be out for the remainder of 2023-24, Chris Haynes of Turner Sports reports. As expected, the shoulder surgery Morant underwent Thursday to fix a labral tear will require him to miss the remainder of the season. Marcus Smart (hand), Derrick Rose (thigh) and Jacob Gilyard are all candidates to receive extended playing time at the point guard position in his absence. Morant is expected to make a full recovery ahead of the 2024-25 campaign.

Grizzlies' Ja Morant: Needs season-ending shoulder surgery
Rotowire Jan 8, 2024
The Grizzlies announced Monday that Morant will miss the rest of the 2023-24 season after an MRI revealed a labral tear in his right shoulder that will require surgery. Morant was initially diagnosed with a subluxation of his right shoulder following his most recent appearance in Friday's win over the Lakers, but the Grizzlies uncovered a much more significant injury following the MRI. The star point guard is slated to have surgery in the near future and is expected to make a full recovery in advance of the 2024-25 season. With Morant sidelined, the Grizzlies will likely shift Marcus Smart over to point guard, while Desmond Bane should also see a spike in playmaking and scoring opportunities. After he served as 25-game suspension to open the season, Morant will conclude the 2023-24 campaign with just nine appearances, during which he averaged 25.1 points, 8.1 assists, 5.6 rebounds, 1.6 three-pointers, 0.8 steals and 0.6 blocks in 35.3 minutes per game.

Grizzlies' Ja Morant: Won't play Tuesday
Rotowire Jan 8, 2024
Morant (shoulder) will not play in Tuesday's game against Dallas. This will be the second straight game on the shelf for Morant. Unlike the first game he missed, Morant wasn't assigned a questionable tag for this one, which isn't a great sign for his outlook. It remains to be seen if he'll be ready for Friday's game against the Clippers, but he does have the benefit of a few extra days off. Look for Marcus Smart, Desmond Bane and Vince Williams to benefit from a fantasy perspective in Morant's absence.

Grizzlies' Ja Morant: Ruled out for Sunday
Rotowire Jan 7, 2024
Morant (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Phoenix. Morant was questionable for Sunday's matchup due to right shoulder soreness, and he'll be forced to miss at least one game due to the injury. Derrick Rose (thigh) remains out against the Suns, so Desmond Bane and Marcus Smart will need to step up. Vince Williams could also see increased run despite missing the last two games with a foot injury.

Grizzlies' Ja Morant: Questionable with shoulder issue
Rotowire Jan 6, 2024
Morant is questionable for Sunday's game against the Suns due to right shoulder soreness. This is a new injury for Morant, but it sounds like he's day-to-day. With Derrick Rose (thigh) still out, the Grizzlies will need Desmond Bane and Marcus Smart to run the bulk of the offense if Morant is unable to suit up. Morant has played well to open the new year, averaging 25.0 points, 8.7 assists, 6.7 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 3.0 three-pointers in his last three games.

Grizzlies' Ja Morant: Sniffs triple-double in loss
Rotowire Jan 4, 2024
Morant chipped in 28 points (10-18 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), eight rebounds, nine assists and one steal in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 116-111 loss to the Raptors. Morant has been excellent since returning to action after a 25-game suspension. However, this was perhaps his most well-rounded performance, as he finished just one assist and two rebounds away from recording a triple-double. He didn't miss a beat despite missing nearly the first two months of the regular season, and he has injected some much-needed life into the Grizzlies on both ends of the court. Even though Memphis lost here, the team has gone 5-3 with Morant in the starting lineup, and the star point guard is averaging 25.6 points, 8.3 assists and 5.4 rebounds per game in that stretch.

The star point guard has now left back-to-back games with injuries before ultimately returning to the court.

Grizzlies' Ja Morant: Double-doubles against Spurs
Rotowire Jan 3, 2024
Morant racked up 26 points (7-15 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 9-12 FT), five rebounds, 10 assists and one steal across 35 minutes during Tuesday's 106-98 win over the Spurs. Morant grabbed headlines with a dunk over Victor Wembanyama that immediately went viral, but outside of that, he delivered a strong performance on both ends of the court and posted his third double-double of the campaign. Morant has enjoyed a strong start to the season after missing the first 25 games due to a suspension, averaging 25.3 points, 8.1 assists and 5.0 rebounds per contest.

Grizzlies' Ja Morant: Starts second half
Rotowire Jan 2, 2024

Rotowire Jan 2, 2024
Morant left Tuesday's game versus the Spurs with a possible knee injury right before halftime, Drew Hill of The Daily Memphian reports. Morant appeared to bang his right knee on the court on a drive to the basket. He came up with an obvious limp, but after consulting with the training staff, he eventually walked to the locker room under his own power. It's unclear whether he'll be able to return.

Grizzlies' Ja Morant: Struggles from field Sunday
Rotowire Jan 1, 2024
Morant closed Sunday's 123-92 loss to Sacramento with 17 points (4-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 7-8 FT), three rebounds and three assists across 31 minutes. Morant has been outstanding since his return from his 25-game suspension, and his play has lifted the Grizzlies to a 4-2 record in the games in which he's been available. Morant has surpassed the 15-point mark in each of those six outings and is averaging 25.2 points per game in that span.

Grizzlies' Ja Morant: Struggles from three in loss
Rotowire Dec 30, 2023
Morant recorded 19 points (7-19 FG, 0-7 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six rebounds and 10 assists across 37 minutes during Friday's 117-106 loss to the Clippers. Morant went 0-for-7 from downtown but was able to hit some jumpers and convert some free throws to offset his tepid long-range result. He enjoyed some success as a ball distributor, posting his second double-digit assist total since returning to action.

Grizzlies' Ja Morant: Not listed on injury report
Rotowire Dec 29, 2023
Morant (illness) isn't listed on the injury report for Friday's game against the Clippers. Morant didn't play in Thursday's loss to Denver due to an illness but will be back in action Friday. The All-Star point guard has scored at least 30 points in three of his first four appearances this season, averaging 28.8 points, 8.5 assists, 5.3 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks in 36.3 minutes per game.

Grizzlies' Ja Morant: Will not play Thursday
Rotowire Dec 28, 2023
Morant (illness) will not play in Thursday's game against the Nuggets, Michael Wallace of the Grizzlies' official site reports. This is a tough blow for a Memphis team that has won four straight games since Morant's return. The Grizzlies play again Friday versus the Clippers, and Morant should be considered questionable for that contest. Marcus Smart will likely take on more playmaking responsibility with Morant out, and guys like Vince Williams and John Konchar may step up.

Grizzlies' Ja Morant: Dealing with illness
Rotowire Dec 27, 2023
Morant is questionable for Thursday's game against the Nuggets due to a non-COVID illness. Morant returned from a 25-game suspension on Dec. 19 and has appeared in four consecutive contests, averaging 28.8 points, 8.5 assists and 5.3 rebounds over 36.3 minutes. However, he's feeling under the weather leading up to Thursday's tilt, which is the opening leg of a back-to-back. With Derrick Rose (hamstring) and Luke Kennard (knee) already ruled out for the contest, Marcus Smart, John Konchar and Jacob Gilyard could each see a larger workload if Morant is inactive Thursday.

Grizzlies' Ja Morant: Double-doubles in win
Rotowire Dec 24, 2023
Morant racked up 30 points (14-25 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, 11 assists, one block and one steal in 36 minutes during Saturday's 125-119 victory over the Hawks. The Grizzlies are 3-0 since Morant's return to the lineup following his 25-game suspension, and the star floor general hasn't needed an adjustment period -- he has scored at least 20 points while dishing out eight or more assists in his three appearances. This was his first double-double of the campaign, and perhaps what's even more impressive is that Morant hasn't had issues shouldering a heavy workload despite his time off. He's averaging 21.7 shot attempts per game, a figure that bodes well for his fantasy upside moving forward.

Rotowire Dec 22, 2023
Morant totaled 20 points (7-16 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds and eight assists in 34 minutes during Thursday's 116-103 win over the Pacers. Morant led all Grizzlies in assists to go along with a handful of rebounds and 20 points in a balanced performance. Morant, who was one of three players with 20 or more points in the victory, has recorded at least 20 points, eight assists and five rebounds in both outings since his season debut Tuesday.
