Memphis Grizzlies superstar Ja Morant will miss Sunday night's matchup of the top two teams in Western Conference standings due to an AC joint sprain in his right shoulder, the team announced.
The Grizzlies did not announce a timetable for Morant's recovery beyond the road game against the West-leading Oklahoma City Thunder.
Morant had season-ending surgery in January to repair a labral tear in his right shoulder. He was cleared for basketball activities in July and has averaged 21.2 points and 7.9 assists per game for the 22-10 Grizzlies.
Morant, a two-time All-Star, suffered the AC joint sprain when he crashed into a hard screen set by New Orleans center Daniel Theis during the Grizzlies' win over the Pelicans on Friday night.
