Bro came back and this happens. Grizzlies fans are in shambles 💀

[@noahrollinss]

Grizzlies falling apart bro.😭

[@kingkem]

He got cursed

[@alecvip7562]

Fr bruh 😭 he was genuinely making a difference too 😭😭 i really thought this would be the season where we'd see if ja can really be a leader or not, and in the little games he was back he was proving he was

[@AndreasU-ur5cq]

Bro is trash tho

[@AndreasU-ur5cq]

​@kingkem nah he just overrated

[@soulsearch1234]

This is a hard lesson for Ja. Always appreciate where you are and dont be so high and mighty believing you are untouchable. Just as fast as you rose, you can fall. Your antics costed you and your team much of the season and then you got injured, ending the whole season. You never know so dont squander opportunity with foolish behavior. Your career isnt promised.

[@dr.finesse823]

This is the best comment here very well spoken

[@YRN230ll]

Wish Ja a full recovery! Hopefully D Rose can make a run when he comes back this season!

They should trade him 😢 give him a chance to win somewhere like Milwaukee or Denver

My name is Martin Staton and I've been following you since the draft. Imma fan for life Ja Morant. Just want you to get your flowers that ypu deservey brother. I know a "Dog" when I see one. And Ja, you are a"Dog" no doubt. You remind my of the good ol days when i watched basketball back in the 90s. You got my support brother. Peace

[@anesu846]

I hate when people do player comps and ots always the GREATEST PLAYERS OF ALL TIME. I remember when Lavine was Westbrook with a jumper or Lonzo was Steph and Magic

[@gabgameng3757]

There goes the Grizz season, too. Speedy recovery for Ja.

[@AndreasU-ur5cq]

This will happen the rest of his career. Guarentee it. If he cant finsh a regular seaon young it only get worse as he grows older.

[@mercyleeofficial]

Wish Ja a speedy recovery and hope to see him next season without any personal troubles in between. Frankly it's time for D Rose to step up to the plate and I'm excited to see how he pushes the envelope forward with the grizzlies !!

[@jdomsmith]

If he comes back at 100%, he owes his surgical team one year of his contract. Labrum tears are rough.

And this is why as an organization you don't build your team around one man now you have to have some young guys or some veteran guys that has to step up and play this is where coaching come in and design plays to get guys easier buckets to win the season is not over unless they just going to give up

[@TriquetraDs]

They are still a young team any team would look bad when their alpha is gone

[@bellzo5]

@TriquetraDs that's true but they still are pro players have some proud and show why you made it there

[@kaydiamond8]

Memphis never built around one player.. Memphis messed up this past year getting peer pressured into getting rid of dillon and shipping off tyus.. They never just built around ja.. They had plenty of players around him but they traded some and some are injured

[@TriquetraDs]

@@kaydiamond8 I am not joking when Memphis are in full health they are better than atleast 8-9 teams in the west ...(warriors Lakers sun's rockets Spurs blazers mavs kings pelicans Steven Adams and ja morant back and they will be set but this year is sadly over

[@kaydiamond8]

@@TriquetraDs agreed. just a bad year for them health wise.on the flip side tho i think the nba kinda punished the team for ja's actions tho and thats the reason why they fell behind this season which is bs considering other guys did worse things than ja. draft a quality big and everyone come back healthy memphis gon be a problem

[@jstreampc5132]

Don’t worry, Ja still has his left hand to practice on his trigger fingers every night in front of the mirror right before bed.

[@mellarx1277]

Smart, really smart. Reminds me of the San Antonio Spurs sitting David Robinson the remainder of the season and getting the #1 pick later in the draft by the name of Tim Duncan. Way to go Memphis Grizzlies. It behooves the Golden State Warriors to do the same.

May this be a lesson for everyone! Don't waste your time acting tough. You usually end up being sent to a timeout chair. Treasure every moment, every gift you have. If you take it for granted, life will sometimes punish you and/or pulverize.

[@jahairl227]

One player don’t make a team. Memphis have the talent to make a playoff run.

[@musiClassic-Toxic]

Ja Morant will not return the same as he was in the NBA before. That is the importance of humility for every professional sport-player when you are at the top of your career and fame. Lesson learned from him.

[@FarebrothaChronicle]

Just when the Grizz was making a push . Well the other got to step up now. Ja Morant play is similar to that of Allen Iverson and Rod Strickland.

[@Amb252]

On a side note Candace parker is fine as hell 😍😍😍😍😍❤️ hopefully Ja morant has a fast and speedy recovery

[@bosstechnology23]

Has to be dunking. Kobe tore his doing a ferocious dunk in game. Could have been a hard fall on that side as well but typically dunking and grabbing the rim. You feel it tug or pinch. Then you cant lift your elbow very much.

[@omgbygollywow]

Yes, he is like D. Rose. But he will be injury prone if he keeps trying to do spectacular dunks. That's probably how he got injured. Sometimes athletic players get injured more than unathletic players.

He was suspended for the season but this was part of the plan. He might have needed the surgery last year and they came to this conclusion. Helps him with endorsements and optics. Silver has been very player friendly and let him keep his 2/3rds of this years bag despite his stupidity.
