The Grizzlies' announced Monday that Ja Morant will undergo season-ending surgery.
Fantasy Impact
Morant reportedly suffered a subluxation of his right shoulder. He is expected to make a full recovery for next season. Marcus Smart and Desmond Bane should continue to start in the back court for Memphis in his absence.
Ja Morant flirted with a triple-double for the Grizzlies Friday night, dishing out seven assists, grabbing seven rebounds, and scoring 21 points (7-17 FG, 3-7 3PT, 4-5 FT) while also blocking one shot and recording one steal in a 127-113 win over the Lakers.
Fantasy Impact
Morant continues a solid stretch on the floor of late, grabbing at least three rebounds, dishing out at least three assists, and scoring at least 17 points in each of his last five games for the Grizzlies. The athletic guard remains the catalyst of a revitalized Memphis starting five since his return from suspension, averaging 25.1 points, 8.1 assists, and 5.6 rebounds per game while carrying a usage rate of 29.6% so far this season.
Ja Morant has been listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Nuggets.
Fantasy Impact
If Morant is sidelined, Vince Williams Jr. will likely return to the starting lineup. It is the front half of a back-to-back for the Grizzlies.
Ja Morant scored 31 points (12-24 FG, 1-7 3PT, 6-8 FT) to go along with four rebounds, seven assists, one steal and two blocks in the Grizzlies' 116-115 win over the Pelicans.
Fantasy Impact
Morant has now scored over 30 points in three of four games since his return. His lone struggle has been shooting from deep, knocking down just 3-of-18 shots from that range.
Ja Morant scored 30 points (14-25 FG, 1-3 3PT, 1-1 FT) to go along with six rebounds, 11 assists, one steal and one block in the Grizzlies' 125-119 win over the Hawks.
Fantasy Impact
Morant delivered his second 30-point performance in three games since returning from his 25-game suspension. He has picked up right where he left off last season, recording his first double-double on Saturday as well.
