Grizzlies star Ja Morant out after suffering non-contact knee injury vs. Hawks

Grizzlies star Ja Morant left Memphis' loss to the Atlanta Hawks early on Friday night after appearing to suffer a knee injury.

Morant, late in the first quarter at FedEx Forum, seemed to plant wrong on his left leg while pulling the ball back out to the wing. It didn't look as if Morant's left knee made contact with anyone.

He started hopping around while trying to pass, and then went to the ground on the baseline.

Morant eventually needed help to get off the floor, and went to the locker room while putting barely any weight on his left leg.
