Grizzlies dealing with loss of Ja Morant for season

Associated Press  

DALLAS — The Memphis Grizzlies were still in a bit of shock a day after learning that All-Star guard Ja Morant is out for the remainder of the season with a shoulder injury. “Devastated for Ja, everything that he’s been doing all season long to get back to this point, playing really good basketball, the team’s starting to play really good basketball.” The news was a shock to Jenkins and his team, which learned the results of Morant’s MRI on Monday night in Dallas. “Our medical team’s working extremely hard right now, finding the best surgeons for him.” The injury ends what will amount to a lost season for Morant. Obviously, every season presents its challenges, but we’ll continue to get better.” Morant returned from the 25-game suspension and averaged 25.1 points in nine games, with the Grizzlies going 6-3 in those contests. “He’s as much as possible feeling confident in the process, knowing that he’s going to get the best care and knowing that he’s going to be ready to go before next season,” Jenkins said.
