Ja Morant 'tweaked his ankle' in Memphis Grizzlies' win vs. Oklahoma City Thunder

The Memphis Grizzlies can't catch an injury break this season, and the latest setback might be the worst one yet.

Grizzlies star Ja Morant left Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder with an apparent left ankle injury after landing awkwardly following a floater attempt in the fourth quarter.

Morant fell to the court in pain after Memphis called timeout and had to be helped to the locker room by forward Ziaire Williams and other team personnel. He was not able to put much weight on the injured leg and grimaced as he passed the bench.

Memphis coach Taylor Jenkins said Morant "tweaked his ankle" and would be undergoing further imaging and testing. "I'll have more of an update tomorrow," Jenkins said.  

The Grizzlies were already without guard Desmond Bane and Williams due to injuries, and only got Jaren Jackson Jr. back from injury this week. They have yet to play a game this season with their expected starting lineup.

Morant finished with 19 points and 11 assists in the Grizzlies' 121-110 victory.
