What a lame ending to a strange yet hyper competitive series. Sorry Griz fans.

Bone bruise suggests it came from the closeout though, where he banged knees with Klay, and not the grab by Jordan Poole.

Injuries suck

that sucks. I think Memphis was an overlooked contender until that happened.

In other words: "Ja Morant likely out for game 5"

Dang, big bummer. Sorry Grizz fans. I hope Ja makes a fast and full recovery.

Major bummer. Get well soon, Ja.

Unfortunate but they were losing in 5 either way. Only game they pulled off is a game winner at the buzzer, essentially. Fun team though, they should’ve utilized Adams more since GSW is small.

Also, I’m done hearing anything about Poole and that knee grab. That obviously did not cause a a bone bruise. It was really annoying to see that even be a thing. Even Ja tweeting about it. Not a chance

really sucks to see stars get injured. Takes away the fun out of the series. I still think Warriors win but now it's in 5 instead of maybe 6 or 7 that it would have been.

Gotta be up there with the strangest way someone has hurt their knee in sports! Sucks! He was exciting to watch and had GS nervous.

I don't know why I'm even bringing this up since it's been such a touchy subject on the board, but Is this still supposed to be from the play where Poole "yanked" him?

Maybe I'm missing something but I don't know how that could have caused a bone bruise.

Shame he couldn’t keep playing. I’m rooting for the Warriors in the series, but not to the point that I want an easy pass for them. I’d take a fun 7 game series with Grizzlies winning over Warriors winning in 5 against a Morant-less Grizzlies. Just kind of sucked the fun out of the series.

I think it's safe to say that Poole's fraction of a second knee grab did not cause a bone bruise. If I had to guess it probably happened on his fly by when closing out on Klay.

Sucks for Ja and the Grizz. Sucks for basketball fans.

Ja needs to make some adjustments to his game

It being a bone bruise I think its safe to assume it didnt happen on the Poole play. Bruise is trauma, not pulling. It had to happen on the close out.

Well since we now know it is a bone bruise that's proof that Poole didn't do it. You don't get a bone bruise from being grabbed.

All that crying about the Poole grab and that wasn't even what caused the injury. Tough look.

I could see the Grizz getting game 5. The defense looks a lot better with Morant out.

Traps are inherently chaotic plays that involve spastic decisions. I don't think Poole meant to injure Morant even if he did grab his leg. That said it's a bummer he's gone

Is that not the same knee he injured in the RS? When it happend back then it looked really scary and i was surprised when he returned relatively soon.

Seems like he was going to get injured one way or another eventually in these playoffs. Sorry Grizzlies fans, this sucks for all of us.
