Ja Morant was a man of few words after learning his 2023-24 season was over … going to social media to express his frustrations by simply saying, “Damn dawg.”
The Memphis Grizzlies broke the news Monday night … saying their superstar guard suffered a partial dislocation of his right shoulder during Saturday’s training session.
The team said Morant continued to experience soreness and instability in the following days … so he underwent an MRI, which revealed an underlying labral tear.
The ailment brings Morant’s revenge tour to a screeching halt … as he was out to make up for time lost after missing the first chunk of the season due to his gun-related suspension.
As we previously reported, Morant was quick to make sure his haters knew he heard all the talk in his first game back … yelling he “kept receipts” after nailing the game-winning bucket against the New Orleans Pelicans last month.
