According to reports, Grizzlies rising star Jia Morante officially missed Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals Series against the Warriors on May 10, Beijing time:
In fact, this is also expected, after all, earlier in the day, a video clip of Morant's shooting training in the Grizzlies has been exposed, when Morant can only watch his teammates' training on the court, after all, his walking posture is obviously not up to the level of playing:
Morant suffered a knee injury in the final moments of Game 3 against the Warriors, and he has now undergone an MRI examination, but strangely the Grizzlies declined to disclose the results.
Then, after Morant did miss Game 4 of the series, he also became the eighth All-Star to miss at least one game in the playoffs this year, while Tyes Jones served as the Grizzlies starter in the event that Morant was unable to play.
However, for the specific injury of Ja Morant, Grizzlies coach Taylor Jenkins once again said that Morant's injury will be further evaluated, but he still did not disclose Morant's specific injury situation, which also caused dissatisfaction among fans and the media.
Some media outlets could not understand the Grizzlies' approach and suggested that Chris Middleton announced his injury the day after suffering an MCL injury, which the Grizzlies have not announced in the past 48 hours:
Whether Morant will make a comeback in this series is still unknown, and in any case, if the Grizzlies lose game 4 of the following series, they will also face the crisis of stopping the second round.
