Following his 25-game suspension, Morant returned for only nine games before injury.
During that stretch, he averaged 25.1 points and 8.1 assists per game.
Without their star player, the Grizzlies will now look to other key players like Jaren Jackson Jr. and Desmond Bane to lead a playoff push.Reactions to the injury flooded social media:
This season won’t be the same without Ja Morant.
