Ja Morant hasn’t played in a game for the [Memphis Grizzlies](https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nba/memphis-grizzlies) since January, and we won’t see him out on the court anytime soon.
This week, the [Grizzlies officially announced](https://www.nba.com/grizzlies/news/memphis-grizzlies-medical-update-43) that Morant would be shut down for the rest of the season as he continues to rehab a UCL strain in his left elbow.
Here’s the official statement from the team:
“Morant continues to progress in his rehabilitation of a UCL sprain in his left elbow. Following a recent consultation to advise on lingering discomfort, it was recommended that Morant receive a PRP (platelet-rich plasma) injection to further optimize ligament healing. Morant will begin offloading the elbow following the injection and will miss the remainder of the 2025-26 season, but he is expected to make a full recovery ahead of the 2026-27 season.”
So now we know that we won’t see Morant in a Grizzlies jersey again this season, and it’s fair to wonder if we’ll ever see him play for the Grizzlies again.
