Ruled out for season 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.
Impact Morant was initially diagnosed with a subluxation of his right shoulder, but the Grizzlies discovered a much larger issue following the MRI. Morant will undergo season-ending 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 are going to need Marcus Smart and Desmond Bane to pick up the bulk of the playmaking duties, while Vince Williams could find himself with a larger role in the rotation. Morant's season will end with just nine games played and averages of 25.1 points, 8.1 assists, 5.6 rebounds and 1.6 three-pointers.

Won't play Tuesday Morant (shoulder) will not play in Tuesday's game against Dallas.
Impact 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 fantasy managers. 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.

Ruled out for Sunday Morant (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Phoenix.
Impact 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.

Questionable with shoulder issue Morant is questionable for Sunday's game against the Suns due to right shoulder soreness.
Impact 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.

Sniffs triple-double in loss 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.
Impact 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.
