The Grizzlies believe the injury occurred in Game 3 of their Western Conference semifinals series against the Golden State Warriors.
Jordan Poole grabbed Morant’s knee in a scrum for the basketball midway through the fourth and the All-Star guard exited shortly after and did not play in Game 4.
Ja Morant has averaged 38.3 points, 8.3 assists and 6.7 rebounds in three playoff games against the Warriors. Memphis trails the series 3-1, with Game 5 taking place on Wednesday.
