Ja Morant exits with hamstring injury after scary Grizzlies fall

Ja Morant left Wednesday’s win over the Lakers early due to a hamstring injury, though the issue didn’t appear to be too worrisome.

The Grizzlies missed an alley-oop when he tried to throw down a dunk off a lob pᴀss, but wound up going high above the rim.

However, he missed the ball and took a hard fall to the floor.

Los Angeles picked up the loose ball, and the play quickly went down to the other end of the court.

Morant had been slow to get back up, and he limped off the floor before making his way down the tunnel.

The Grizzlies initially said that Morant was doubtful to return due to the hamstring issue, but the Memphis star never came back into the game.

Morant told reporters “I’m good” when asked about the injury after the game, but also added “You will find out when Grizz PR puts the tweet out,” according to The Daily Memphian’s Drew Hill.
