Grizzlies’ Ja Morant goes down with scary injury during play-in vs. Warriors

In arguably the most highly anticipated game of the NBA Play-In Tournament, disaster struck when Ja Morant, fresh off an electrifying start to the game, landed awkwardly on his way down from a shot attempt and immediately grasped at his right ankle as he rolled in pain on the court.

As fans watched on in horror, the guard slowly got to his feet and made his way to the line, where he completed the three-point play with a free throw before limping back to the bench, where he was replaced in the game by his backup, Scottie Pippen Jr.

This is a developing story.
