Kevin Durant's Message for Ja Morant After Devastating Injury News

Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant recently received the devastating news that he will be sidelined for the rest of the season with a tear in his shoulder. This comes just 9 games into Morant's season, as he had just returned from his 25-game suspension.

Speaking with reporters following a recent loss to the LA Clippers, Phoenix Suns star Kevin Durant was asked about Morant, and said, "I think Ja has a great mentality. He's been working hard his whole life to get where he is. I'm sure he'll bounce back."

Durant has gone through big injuries himself, which was part of the question he was asked, and shared those words of encouragement for the Grizzlies star. The NBA is a family, and everyone was happy to see Morant back thriving after such a long absence. Now this absence will be even longer than the first one was, as this becomes almost an entirely lost season for Morant.

The Grizzlies had been trending in the right direction since getting Morant back from his suspension, but still had a long uphill battle in order to secure a play-in spot. While Memphis has won their last two games without Morant, it seems very unlikely they will be able to make a real push towards the playoffs with him sidelined for the remainder of the season.
