The Memphis Grizzlies ruled out star guard Ja Morant for their game Friday night against the Washington Wizards because of hip soreness.
Morant played just 24 minutes in Wednesday’s 131-114 win over the Los Angeles Lakers, leaving in the third quarter because of what the team said was a right hamstring injury.
Morant took a hard fall with 3:45 left in the third quarter while attempting a left-handed dunk. He walked to the locker room and did not return. The Grizzlies had no update on that injury after the game.
Morant had 20 points and five assists before leaving the game.
