Last season, he was diagnosed with a posterior hip subluxation plus associated Grade 1 pelvic muscle strains after a hard fall during a dunk attempt. He missed eight straight games as a result of the hip issue, and due to his injury challenges, he was limited to 50 regular season games.He averaged 23.2 points, 7.3 assists and 4.1 rebounds per game last season. The hopes of the Grizzlies being competitive in the West depends on how fully fit Morant stays throughout the season.
