Ja Morant Cleared for Basketball Activities After Shoulder Surgery

Ja Morant, the dynamic Memphis Grizzlies guard, has been cleared to resume basketball activities following surgery for a labral tear in his right shoulder. Morant announced the news on Twitter, stating "It's go time", marking a significant step in his recovery process.

Morant's 2023-24 season was tumultuous, beginning with a 25-game suspension for repeatedly flashing a gun on social media. After serving his suspension, he managed to play only nine games before his shoulder injury sidelined him. Despite the limited action, Morant showcased his scoring and playmaking abilities, averaging 25.1 points and 8.1 assists in 35.3 minutes per game.

The Grizzlies' star underwent surgery in January, which effectively ended his season. Now, with three months to prepare for the upcoming NBA season, Morant faces the challenge of regaining his form and conditioning. His return is eagerly anticipated by fans and the Grizzlies organization, as his presence on the court is crucial for the team's success.

As the NBA offseason progresses, Morant's rehabilitation and preparation will be closely monitored. His ability to return to peak performance could significantly impact the Grizzlies' prospects in the 2024-25 season.
