Ja Morant is unlikely to play in Game 4 of the Warriors’ playoff series with the Grizzlies, Memphis coach Taylor Jenkins said Sunday.
“This injury is caused by that play,” Jenkins said on Sunday with his team now in a 2-1 hole in the series. Morant made his feelings about the play clear, tweeting a video of the play with the caption “broke the code,” a reference to Steve Kerr’s comments in response to Dillon Brooks’ hard foul on Gary Payton II that caused him to break his elbow in Game 2. Morant deleted the tweet shortly after posting it.
Echoing Jaren Jackson Jr.’s response to Morant’s injury after the Warriors’ Game 3 win, Grizzlies’ Tyus Jones said the play was “interesting.”
