The 2023-24 NBA season was absolutely a season from hell for the Memphis Grizzlies.
Ja Morant finally returned after his suspension, played 9 games putting up 25/5/8, and then boom.
Out for the year with a shoulder injury.
Marcus Smart arrived for his first season in Memphis, played 20 games, and then boom.
Desmond Bane played only 42 games, dealing with back and ankle issues.
The list goes on and on when it comes to key rotation players getting hurt.
Once the season ended you maybe thought OK, hopefully this injury shit is over.
Perhaps the curse had finally been lifted now that we were entering a new league year.
Even when he came back briefly, he immediately sprained his other ankle.
Maybe you look at the sequence of these events and think they’re all just random.
No trend, no curse, just some shit luck.
I suppose that could be true, but the evidence sure is becoming harder and harder to ignore.
Don’t believe me?
you should probably figure this shit out quickly because the NBA season opens in 20 days.
Bring in Kyrie’s sage, bring in a priest for an exorcism, do something.
With JJJ, a hamstring strain would scare the shit out of me as a fan.
Quad/hamstrings can linger, especially if you rush your way back.
Can the injury bug fuck off already?
I would argue it was his injury a few years ago was the first victim of this alleged curse.
All I want is to see everyone at full strength, especially at the start of the season.
Wasting another year all because you couldn’t figure out how to break an injury curse would be brutal.
