Ja Morant left in the third quarter of the Memphis Grizzlies’ 132-124 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans due to a right shoulder injury.
The point guard collided with a hard, legal screen by Daniel Theis, forcing him to return to the bench but not the game. Morant, who scored 25 points, cheered his teammates as they closed out the win.
Desmond Bane praised the team’s resilience, while coach Jenkins provided no updates on Morant’s status but noted evaluations would follow. Morant appeared in good spirits postgame.
