NEW YORK -- Grizzlies star point guard Ja Morant left the Barclays Center court area in a wheelchair Monday night after spraining his left ankle in the second quarter of Memphis' 116-111 overtime win over the Brooklyn Nets.
X-rays on Morant's ankle revealed no fracture, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, and he is expected to undergo an MRI as soon as Tuesday.
Grizzlies coach Taylor Jenkins didn't have an official update on Morant's status after the game but said Morant would continue to be evaluated and there would likely be an update Tuesday from Boston, where the Grizzlies are scheduled to play the Celtics on Wednesday.
"So tough to see Ja go down," Jenkins said. "I know he's going to bounce back and be fine. We'll have more updates as we're going through, but so far so good."

The 6-foot-3 guard was hurt when he attempted to block Nets forward Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot's shot and landed awkwardly on Luwawu-Cabarrot's foot.
Morant didn't put weight on his left leg as he hopped to the sideline before collapsing next to the Grizzlies' bench. He rolled on the floor in pain while the training staff came to him.
After a few minutes, a staff member brought over a wheelchair and Morant's teammates helped him into it. Morant was immediately wheeled to the locker room and later ruled out for the remainder of the game.
Midway through the fourth quarter, Morant returned to the Grizzlies' bench wearing a protective boot on his left leg. He limped into the team huddle during timeouts and doled out high-fives to his teammates.
"What a great display for him to be out there," Jenkins said. "He was fully involved on the bench, in the timeouts. Being fully integrated with the guys, help push us to this victory. ... A moment like that can really test you, but our guys just kept fighting."
After the game, Morant tweeted the quote, "every setback is a setup for a comeback. God wants to bring you out better than you were before," and added, "heard you."



The reigning Rookie of the Year has gotten off to an impressive start through the Grizzlies' first two games, averaging 36 points and 8 assists.

Wood went undrafted. He was cut by four teams.

Somehow, that wasn’t the end of Wood’s misery. “I lost my girlfriend that night, too,” he said. “I dropped her off at the airport after the draft and never saw her again.”

The Pistons never did return to the court, leaving Wood in a strange limbo for eight months. But when free agency finally commenced on Friday, it took just a few hours before ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported that Wood had found a new home—the Houston Rockets would be signing him to a three-year, $41 million deal. Not only will the contract provide Wood everything he ever wanted—namely, financial security and a solidified position in the league—but it could also wind up being the steal of the offseason.

Christian Wood Is Hoping His Sixth NBA Team Is the Charm

After spending five years toiling on the outskirts of the NBA, Christian Wood has finally found a home (and a long-term contract). Now he’s out to prove last season’s success wasn’t a fluke.

I've seen the Knicks, don't worry about them muthafuckas.

I said the same thing last season and we loss twice to them after blowing them out the first time...

Yo is it time to call Andrew Wiggins a bust?

Not a bust, but he'll never get to that "next level." He doesn't even do any one thing great. Simmons won't get to that next level cause he's afraid to shoot. AKA the Beige bitch. But at the very least you can say he's a great defender, very good rebounder and passer. You can't say Wiggins is great at anything. Nothing stands out.

Very pitiful

That shit was awful.

All you have to do to determine that is to look at his stats.

Career 19.7 ppg 4.4 rpg 2.3 apg

He’s far from a bust, he’s just not as good as everyone expected or wanted him to be. The perception is that he’s a bust but that’s only because of the expectation that everyone put on him.

Ok those aren t terrible numbers

No they’re it but with his athletic ability we all expected more. So yes, even in my opinion I feel like he’s kind of a bust but the numbers speak differently.

So we can’t say he was a bust technically, but he definitely didn’t live up to everyone’s expectation.

Someone needs to write this script asap...

Congrats

Funny the rumor is he had a whole lot off the court issues it was never about his talent. But Houston new GM seems to hitting the mark.

He really didn't have any off court issues other than being immature buying a Bentley with just a G league contract. I'm sure he's not the only one to do something irresponsible like that. They also said he felt he was better than what he really was in college which made him leave early, a lot of cats did that too.

He just did stuff that a lot of young players did but the cuts from all those teams humbled him & made him work harder on his game. That’s what makes his story better because it could have went the other way easily.

There was an article by a but hurt writer who covered UNLV that said it was unprofessional that he announced on twitter that he's entering the draft before telling his coach and team. I think that tarnished his reputation moving forward but I haven't seen anything that made it seem like he was a big problem off the court.

I can still hear D-TOWN REP screaming "You shouldntve traded Wiggins" and blaming Bron's karma and Finals losses on it. Jordan stans say the darnedest things sometimes.

Homie could’ve kept that news, more importantly those shoes to himself.

[playahaitian]

Damn

I think he could have been one of the most successful to do it

All I remember is Shaq and Ewing...but BIG MEN rarely sell like that in sneakers

and then Wade had his lline and Lonzo didn't wear the Baller Brand in the NBA right?

I wonder if ALL these players that have publicly stated how devoted they were to Kobe would support his shoe?

Imagine, Mr. Talc running on the court but a thousand times slower but he wants to throw a fit at the young guys for making simple a mistake....

All these nice gestures he's doing is a cover up on how much of an asshole he is.

This piece of shit signs an extension knowing the team was rebuilding but want to do everything to leave. Fuck him and his whole family...

Well done, Hawks.

Dinwiddie hurts more because you know at some point Kyrie is going to miss time

Ja looks like he's going to be out for a while

Seems like a lot of injuries for just 10 days of ball, must be the shortened camp.
