Grizzlies' Ja Morant, Taylor Jenkins call out Warriors' Jordan Poole, who denies dirty play after Morant injury

There's a brewing controversy for the third straight game in the series between the Golden State Warriors and Memphis Grizzlies, but at least this one doesn’t involve Memphis media.

In the fourth quarter, the Warriors decided to employ a blitz approach to guard Ja Morant. Jordan Poole and Andrew Wiggins both rushed and surrounded the Grizzlies star in an attempt to get a steal. The play ultimately resulted in a foul called against Wiggins, but it also resulted in an injury to Morant’s knee.

Ja was frustrated after an apparent injury on this play.
