The Grizzlies’ hopes at pulling even with the Warriors in the Western Conference Semifinals took a major hit on Sunday, as All-Star point guard Ja Morant appears unlikely to play in Game 4.
Memphis officially listed Morant as “doubtful” for Monday’s contest just over 24 hours before tip-off. The 22-year-old appeared on the team’s injury report with “right knee soreness.”
The official updates come just hours after Grizzlies coach Taylor Jenkins said that Morant would “probably” not play in Game 4. He revealed that the All-Star was undergoing further evaluation on his knee and planned to undergo additional treatment in the coming days.
