On May 10, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA playoffs continued. According to the schedule, the Warriors will play the Grizzlies at home today, the fourth game between the two sides. Before the game began, anthony Slater revealed that Grizzlies coach Jenkins said Morant was determined to miss the game due to injury.
In the G3 match between the two sides, Morant left the field with a sudden injury at the end of the game and then returned directly to the locker room for inspection. Morant's injury also caused a lot of controversy, and the Grizzlies insisted that it was the Warriors' Pull pull that caused Morant to be injured. However, the Warriors side, including Poole himself, denied this, and Warriors star Porter said earlier today: "We didn't think about it at all, we just focused on G4." I don't think there's anything to discuss about it, Poole just rushed the ball, that's it! ”
Before the start of today's game, the American media posted a video of Morant's entry, and it can be seen that Morant is obviously limping when he walks, but his form looks relaxed and he has been talking to his teammates.
Grizzlies coach Jenkins said earlier today: "Morant did not participate in the team's shooting training today, he has undergone an MRI examination, but the Grizzlies will not announce the results. Asked about the crisis that Morant's absence brought to the team, Grizzlies player Tillman said: "When he's on the court, you can see how dominant he is, how dependent we are on him, it's an unfortunate situation, but the rest of us are going to step up and we're going to hold the situation under control until he gets back on the court." ”
Interestingly, in an interview, Jaren Jackson was also asked about Morant's absence, saying: "Today I learned more about his knee injury, the situation is sad now and we will try to unite for him." At this time, the reporter asked Jackson: "What is the difference between the team and Morant?" At this time, Morant himself shouted outside the interview area: "Tell them, (without me) 20 wins and 5 losses!" ”
