Ja Morant to undergo minor knee surgery

Ja Morant is projected as the No.2 pick in the NBA Draft

The NBA draft is just two weeks away, and ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski is reporting that the projected No. 2 pick is set to undergo surgery on Monday:

Murray State guard Ja Morant -- the projected No. 2 pick in this month's NBA draft -- will undergo a minor arthroscopic procedure on his right knee Monday, league sources told ESPN. Morant is expected to be fully recovered in three to four weeks, sources said. The scope is designed to remove a loose body in his knee, sources said.

Ja Morant enjoyed a breakout season with Murray State, averaging 24.5 points and 10.0 assists per game. Despite his injury setback, the Memphis Grizzlies are still expected to select Morant with their No.2 pick - and the teenager is expected to become the team's new starting point guard.
