Top NBA draft prospect Ja Morant will have minor surgery to remove a loose body from his right knee on Monday and will be sidelined 3-4 weeks, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported Saturday. David Banks-USA TODAY Sports The 6-foot-3 point guard from Murray State is widely expected to be the No. 2 overall pick in the June 20 draft by the Memphis Grizzlies, behind presumptive No. 1 Zion Williamson of Duke. The consensus All-American and Ohio Valley Conference Player of the Year averaged 24.5 points and an NCAA-best 10.0 assists per game for the Racers in 2018-19. Morant, 19, opened the 2019 NCAA Tournament with a triple-double (17 points, 16 assists and 11 rebounds) in Murray State’s 83-64 upset of fifth-seeded Marquette. Morant’s agent, Jim Tanner of Tandem Sports, told the teams with the top picks in the draft about his client’s impending surgical procedure on Saturday, sources told ESPN. –Field Level Media (@FieldLevelMedia)
