Morant had his 2023-24 season cut short after suffering a serious shoulder injury in January. Morant only played in a total of nine games

The Grizzlies finished with a 27-55 record and missed the playoffs for the first time since Morant’s rookie season in 2019-20.

Injuries haven’t been Morant’s biggest problem over the past year. Morant served a 25-game suspension to start last season after the second instance wherein he was seen flashing a gun on social media.

The first incident happened in March 2023 following a loss against the Denver Nuggets, which led to an eight-game suspension. The second instance occurred just weeks after the first when Morant was seen holding a gun while his friend was live on Instagram.

Entering his age-25 season, Morant has a chance to put his injuries and off-court issues behind him.
