Ja Morant shows his frustration on the bench by slamming down a cushion. (0:55)
Ja Morant, the star point guard for the Memphis, will not play in Game 4 due to a knee injury.
The team will take Morant's knee issue day by day. The point guard underwent an exam, but he wouldn't reveal the results. The team has not said what Morant's knee injury is.
We are going to continue to work with our doctors to figure out what is going on with the knee.
According to the report, Morant was hurt on a play in the fourth quarter when Jordan Poole grabbed his knee while trapping the point guard and went for the basketball. The play that triggered the injury was when Poole yanked Morant's knee.
When walking from the team bus to the morning shootaround, Morant was favoring his leg. He wore slides while at shootaround.
Morant will only have one more day to improve before the game in Memphis.
In the first three games of this series, the Grizzlies were outscored by 32 points in the 29 minutes they played without Morant.
Morant has averaged 38.3 points, 8.3 assists and 6.7 Rebounds in this second-round series.
Power forward Jaren Jackson Jr. said that he probably found out more about Morant's doubtful status. You don't want to see that because it's my boy. We are with him. We know what he expects from us, just resilience. We are going to show that tonight and compete like we know how.
