2024 Fantasy Outlook
Morant's 2023-24 season was delayed due to a 25-game suspension for his off-court conduct. After getting cleared, Morant looked like his usual superstar self, averaging 25.1 points, 8.1 assists, 5.6 rebounds, 0.8 steals and 0.6 blocks in 35.3 minutes across nine appearances. However, in his ninth game, Morant suffered a shoulder injury that required surgery, shutting the dynamic point guard down for the remainder of the campaign. Morant wasn't the only player who missed time for Memphis last season as the Grizzlies limped to a 27-55 record, their worst finish since 2017-18. Morant and company are expected to be at full strength by training camp and will have playoff expectations again. However, the Western Conference has only improved in recent years, so Morant will need to be at his best. Morant has only one top-50 eight-category finish in his career -- 46th place in 2021-22 -- and has more fantasy value in points leagues. However, there's no mistaking his talent, and he's the clear No. 1 option in Memphis. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a five-year, $197.23 million contract extension with the Grizzlies in July of 2022. 
Sits out series-ending loss
Morant (hip) didn't play Saturday in the Grizzlies' 117-115 loss to the Thunder in Game 4 of the first-round playoff series. He finished the series with averages of 18.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.0 rebounds and 1.3 three-pointers across 27.3 minutes per contest in three appearances.
ANALYSIS
Though a hip contusion kept him from playing in an elimination game, Morant's offseason training program shouldn't be affected by the injury. Even so, health continues to be a concern for the 25-year-old guard, who also missed 32 of the Grizzlies' 82 games during the regular season due to an assortment of injuries. Over his 50 appearances, Morant averaged 23.2 points, 7.3 assists, 4.1 rebounds. 1.8 three-pointers and 1.2 steals across 30.4 minutes per game while shooting 45.4 percent from the field. The scoring average and field-goal percentage were his lowest marks since the 2021-22 season, and it came even while the Grizzlies led the NBA with a 106.2 pace factor. Morant remains an integral part of the Grizzlies' long-term plans, but the seventh-place MVP finish he turned in during the 2021-22 campaign could represent the peak of his career.

Morant is coming off a frustrating season, which he began in amazing fashion, including earning his second All-Star selection, before picking up a nine-game suspension in March after brandishing a gun on Instagram live. Things got even tougher for the talented young guard, as he suffered a wrist injury in Game 1 of the first round of the playoffs, which caused him to miss the next game and remain limited for the rest of the series, which the Grizzlies lost in five games. Unfortunately, the drama did not end there, as Morant was once again seen flashing a gun on Instagram live in the offseason and as a result was handed a 25-game suspension by the league, effective at the beginning of the 2023-24 season. Additionally, the Grizzlies underwent a significant change at the point guard position, as they said goodbye to Tyus Jones and brought in Marcus Smart as part of a three-team deal soon after news of Morant's suspension broke. Smart will surely be expected to carry the load while Morant is out, but when the All-Star guard is eligible to return, it is mostly a guarantee that he will take the reins of the offense and be ready to produce back at a top-tier level. Some of Morant's best performances from the 2022-23 season included a season-high 49 point outburst in a win over the Rockets, eight triple-doubles, and 12 more double-doubles. If Morant can keep his focus, he is likely to pick up where he left off and shine as one of the league's top point guards.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Grizzlies not looking to move him
The Grizzlies are not looking to deal Morant following the Desmond Bane trade, ESPN's Tim Bontemps reports.
ANALYSIS
The same is true for Jaren Jackson, Bontemps adds. Memphis recently hired coach Tuomas Iisalo, who will be putting an emphasis on a fast-paced offense with lots of pick-and-roll and three-point shooting, and they made that decision with Morant in mind. Morant, who will turn 26 in August, has had all sorts of problems off the court in addition to staying healthy, but it's clear the franchise is still committed to the point guard.
