Injured Morant wheeled off

Ja Morant left the court area in a wheelchair on Monday night after the NBA Rookie of the Year sprained his left ankle in the first half of the Memphis Grizzlies’ game in Brooklyn. Morant jumped to block a shot by Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot and appeared to land on the Nets forward’s foot. He immediately hopped off the floor in pain and laid on the floor before he was wheeled to the back of the arena. The Grizzlies announced Morant would not return to the game. He joined his teammates on the bench during the second half with his foot in a walking boot, watching the Grizzlies win 116-111 in overtime for their first victory. Morant was off to a strong start in his second season, scoring a career-best 44 points in the opener and 28 in his second game.
