Ja Morant Leaves Game 1 Loss With Right Hand Injury, Does Not Return 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Sun Apr 16, 2023 9:58 pm

Ja Morant left the Memphis Grizzlies' Game 1 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers in the fourth quarter with a right hand injury and did not return.


Morant fell on his hand after charging into Anthony Davis on a drive midway through the quarter.


Morant was already playing with the hand wrapped due to an injury suffered during the last week of the regular season.


Morant returned to the Grizzlies bench but did not re-enter the game.

We know what the excuse is if the outcome of the series doesn't go their way.
