While Morant had his 2023-24 season cut short due to injury, Damichael Cole of Commercial Appeal reported a huge update earlier this month.
Via Cole on July 9: "Ja Morant has been fully cleared for all basketball activities. The Grizzlies star will now have three months to gear up for what should be a bounce-back season for himself and the team."

The Grizzlies dealt with a lot of injuries last season, so they finished as the 13th seed in the Western Conference with a 27-55 record.
They missed the NBA playoffs for the first time since the 2020 season.
