Ja Morant’s name mysteriously appeared on the injury report ahead of Sunday’s game against the Phoenix Suns.
There were no signs two days earlier after beating the Los Angeles Lakers that the Memphis Grizzlies star point guard was dealing with anything serious. But after Morant sustained a subluxation in his shoulder during a training session the next day, it was determined he suffered a labral tear and would miss the remainder of the NBA season.
Morant, 24, is expected to make a full recovery.
The Commercial Appeal conducted a phone interview with Brian Schulz, an orthopedic surgeon at Cedars-Sinai Kerlan-Jobe Institute in Los Angeles who is also a team physician with the NHL’s Anaheim Ducks and MLB’s Los Angeles Angels. Schulz specializes in arthroscopic and open surgical techniques for sports related injuries to the knee, hip, elbow and shoulder.
Here is what Schulz said on Morant’s injury, recovery process and long-term future.
