Memphis Grizzlies star point guard Ja Morant is set to undergo season-ending shoulder surgery to repair a torn labrum in his shoulder, the team announced on Monday evening.
Morant, who missed the first 25 games of the campaign due to a suspension, returned to action and made his season debut on Dec. 19.
He featured in nine games since his return, but was unavailable for Sunday’s tilt against the Phoenix Suns. The Grizzlies listed Morant as questionable with shoulder soreness, though he did not suit up for the game.
