Morant underwent successful surgery on his right shoulder Thursday and will be out for the remainder of the 2023-24 season,
Chris Haynes of Turner Sports reports.
ANALYSISMorant's surgery addressed a labral tear and will result in his 2023-24 campaign coming to an end after just nine appearances, as he previously missed the Grizzlies' first 25 games of the season while serving a suspension.
Marcus Smart (hand),
Derrick Rose (thigh) and
Jacob Gilyard are all candidates to receive extended playing time at point guard in his absence. Morant is expected to make a full recovery ahead of the 2024-25 season.
