Memphis Grizzlies and Dallas Mavericks clashed against each other for a preseason NBA clash. The battle was quite close throughout the game, however, Grizzlies’ Ja Morant, strained his ankle during the game. The injury didn’t look serious as he came back to play in the third quarter.
Interestingly. Morant again rolled his ankle and this time, he signalled to the team’s athletic trainer that he is unable to play more. Despite this, the Grizzlies claimed victory 121-116 over the Mavericks. However, the Grizzlies will hope that Morant recovers quickly as they will need their star point guard in the upcoming NBA season.
