Memphis Grizzlies Injury Report: What is the latest health update of star player Ja Morant, will he play against Oklahoma City Thunder?

The Memphis Grizzlies will be taking on Oklahoma City Thunder for Game 4 in the ongoing first-round NBA Playoff series on Saturday, April 26 at the FedExForum. All eyes would be on star player superstar Ja Morant, whether he starts against the OKC Thunder or not. 

Will Ja Morant play against the Oklahoma City Thunder?

The 25-year old point guard sees his name on the team's injury report as he is listed on a day-to-day basis. He will be sidelined for Game 4 against the Thunder, having been ruled out due to a hip injury that he sustained in the previous game. Morant took a hard fall in Game 3 that forced him to leave the court and was later seen on crutches during the fourth quarter. 

Without Morant, their chances of winning the upcoming Game 4 looks slim. They are already trailing the seven game series 3-0 and if they lose the upcoming clash, then their chances of making a comeback are very less. Not just this, they even have the advantage of playing on their home-court. 

In Game 3, Morant played a crucial role as the Memphis had a commanding 29-point lead, but as soon as Morant got injured, the complexion of the match changed in the favor of the Thunder. With Ja Morant being unavailable for the Game 4, Grizzlies face an uphill task ahead of them, while the Thunder are eyeing to take a commanding lead in the series. 

OKC Thunder guard Lu Dort faced backlash online, with many fans accusing him of injuring Ja Morant. Dort then later clarified that his intentions were clear and not of hurting Morant. The collision with Morant was purely accidental. 

Before heading to the locker room, Morant was having an impressive outing as he had notched up 15 points in 16 minutes. He shot 5 of 11 from the field, including 1 of 4 from 3-point range. Along with this, he had one rebound and five assists.
