Grizzlies Morant: Injuries kill playoff dreams again
On January 9, Beijing time, the Grizzlies announced that Morant, the team's number one star, had to undergo surgery and be reimbursed for the season due to serious injuries such as a dislocated right shoulder and a torn labrum. The injury is a blow to the team's playoff dreams and bleak the team's prospects.
Season in the shadow of injuries
Morant was absent from the first 25 games of the season due to suspension, and he played in nine games since his return. However, this injury knocked him down again and became the trigger for the team's playoff hopes to be nearly dashed. Experts predict that his recovery could take up to 6 months.
A huge contrast in the fortunes of the team
With Morant on the floor, the team had a good 6-3 record, but in his absence, the team's winning percentage plummeted to 7-20. This contrast has undoubtedly deeply affected the team's overall performance, and this extreme situation is seriously hindering the Grizzlies' progress.
Injury-ridden predicament
The team has received a $12.4 million injury exception, but Adams and Clark, who are the same main players as Morant, are also facing the fate of season reimbursement. Such a situation will undoubtedly have a lasting adverse impact on the Grizzlies' record, which currently sits at 13-23 and ranks 13th in the West.
The announcement of Morant's latest injury ended his season early, and it also means that the team is in a situation where playoff dreams are slim. However, it has been pointed out that the team should not rely on just one player, but should have a more comprehensive team strength. This setback may be an opportunity for the team to re-examine the overall strength of the team, rather than a complete tragic ending.
