Grizzlies guard Ja Morant was dealt another injury setback in the third quarter of the team's Play-In Tournament matchup with the Warriors. The injury occurred as Morant landed from a baseline floater that cut the deficit to two points. He was fouled on the play and the and-one opportunity would allow Memphis to come within one point after trailing by as many as 20 points in the game.
