Ja Morant's injury during the play-in game against the Golden State Warriors raises concerns as the playoffs approach. The star guard fell awkwardly on Buddy Hield's foot while executing an and-1 and twisted his ankle. Initially, he stayed on to shoot a free throw, crucial for re-entry, but clearly struggled with the pain. The Grizzlies promptly took him out, raising alarms about his availability for upcoming matches. After a brief absence, Morant returned to the action, albeit still limping, and managed to contribute with a jump shot.
