Ja Morant went down with an ankle inury during his Memphis Grizzlies’ game against the Golden State Warriors in the play-in tournament at Chase Center in San Francisco, Calif., on Tuesday night.
Morant had the ball in the third quarter with his Grizzlies down 82-78 to the Warriors. He made a jump shot from the baseline but rolled his right ankle when he landed. Quinten Post was called for a foul on the play, so Morant remained in the game and made his free throw before heading to the bench due to his injury.
