Grizzlies' Ja Morant Out for Season Due to Elbow Injury
Ja Morant will miss the rest of the season due to a left elbow ligament sprain, requiring platelet-rich plasma treatment to aid healing, the Memphis Grizzlies announced.
- The Memphis Grizzlies ruled Morant out for the rest of the season due to a UCL sprain in his left elbow, an injury the 26-year guard suffered on Jan. 21.
- Following a recent consultation regarding lingering discomfort in the joint, team officials announced Morant will receive a platelet-rich plasma injection to aid healing.
- Morant, a two-time NBA All-Star and former Rookie, played only 20 games this campaign, averaging 19.5 points while struggling to remain on the court.
- The organization expects the guard to make a full recovery for the 2026 season, given he has two seasons and $87 million remaining on his contract.
- Cumulative injuries and Off-court troubles surfacing in 2023 have limited Morant to 79 games over the past three campaigns, with behavior issues also diminishing his court presence.
