The Memphis Grizzlies suffered two consecutive losses to start their first-round series against the best team in the NBA, the Oklahoma City Thunder, but Game 3

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant is uncertain for Saturday's potential elimination game against the Oklahoma City Thunder after being ruled out for the remainder of Thursday's game with a hip injury. ESPN's Tim MacMahon reported Morant "was spotted on crutches in the tunnel by Memphis' bench during the fourth quarter."

Chet Holmgren scored all but one of his 24 points in the second half as the Oklahoma City Thunder rallied from a 29-point deficit after Ja Morant left the game with a hip injury and beat the Memphis Grizzlies 114-108 for a 3-0 lead in the first-round series.
