In the NBA playoffs, the Memphis Grizzlies faced the Oklahoma City Thunder. However, Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant injured his left hip due to a heavy fall and withdrew from the game, which became an important turning point in the game.

With about three minutes left in the first half, Scottie Pippen of the Memphis Grizzlies broke into the basket during a fast break and passed the ball to Morant who followed in. Just as Morant jumped up to prepare for a layup, Luguentz Dort of the Oklahoma City Thunder lost his balance and hit Morant in the air, causing the latter to fall heavily to the ground.

Although Morant returned to the court to take free throws, he was obviously limping and missed both free throws. He then took off his jersey and returned to the locker room with the help of the staff. After that, the Memphis Grizzlies officially announced that Morant would not play again in this game.

The collision was reviewed and eventually ruled a common foul. Morant had contributed 15 points and 5 assists to the Memphis Grizzlies before leaving the game. The loss of Morant greatly affected the morale of the Memphis Grizzlies .

Although the Memphis Grizzlies led by as many as 29 points at halftime, the Oklahoma City Thunder launched a fierce counterattack in the second half and eventually completed a stunning reversal with a score of 114 to 108, taking the match point in the series 3-0.

Currently, the Memphis Grizzlies are facing the crisis of being swept out, and Morant's injury has become the biggest suspense for the team's future performance.
