Morant exits early
Portland Trail Blazers guard Ja Morant had to leave his first game against his former team in the fourth quarter on Thursday night. He suffered a left hamstring injury during the matchup.
Before he had to exit, Morant put up 14 points and three assists in 23 minutes of play. He was later ruled out for the remainder of the contest as the Trail Blazers fell to a 124-103 loss against the Memphis Grizzlies.
Coach awaits updates
Coach Micah Nori spoke after the game about the injury. Nori stated that Morant felt a twinge in his hamstring and mentioned he hoped to have more information on Friday.
Nori also added, I am hoping that it is nothing major, obviously. The team will wait for medical evaluations to know the extent of the issue.
Early season impact
This is Morant's first season with Portland, after he spent the first seven years of his career playing for Memphis. Before this game, he averaged 16.3 points and 6.3 assists in 26.7 minutes.
With Morant contributing, the Trail Blazers started the season with three straight wins. Thursday night's match brought their first loss of the young season.
