Re: Ja Morant: A Grade 1 sprain is considered mild w/ micro tearing of the involved ligaments. Morant has a history of injury here having previously missed time w/ a Grade 2 (incomplete tear) sprain of the same ankle. That injury occurred last season & cost Morant 8 games. – 4:31 PM

For what it’s worth, Brandon Clarke said when he saw Ja Morant in the locker room after the game, he was walking. Morant wasn’t able to put much weight on his ankle when he was leaving the floor. – 11:02 PM

Final: Grizzlies 121, Thunder 110
Not a good night for the two star guards. Ja Morant exited with an apparent ankle injury and SGA was held to 15 points, his lowest total this season, on 6-of-18 shooting. – 10:23 PM

The Memphis Grizzlies can’t catch an injury break this season, and the latest setback might be the worst one yet. Grizzlies star Ja Morant left Friday’s game against the Oklahoma City Thunder with an apparent left ankle injury after landing awkwardly following a floater attempt in the fourth quarter. Morant fell to the court in pain after Memphis called timeout and had to be helped to the locker room by forward Ziaire Williams and other team personnel. He was not able to put much weight on the injured leg and grimaced as he passed the bench. Memphis coach Taylor Jenkins said Morant “tweaked his ankle” and would be undergoing further imaging and testing. “I’ll have more of an update tomorrow,” Jenkins said. -via USA Today Sports / November 19, 2022
