Ja Morant injured his knee vs Warriors in Game 3
Ja Morant came into the 2022 NBA season to make a statement. The league took notice. For his efforts, Ja Morant won the Most Improved Player award. However, Ja Morant felt his efforts were deserving of the MVP award. Definitely, Ja Morant played like an MVP candidate. Behind Ja Morant, the Memphis Grizzlies tied a franchise record for wins at 56.
Ja Morant had a lot of hype surrounding him when he was drafted. Morant was the second overall draft pick and he revamped the Memphis Grizzlies. At the end of Memphis’ “Grit N Grind” era, they fell to one of the NBA’s worst records. This led to Ja Morant being drafted. In three years, Ja Morant has the Grizzlies with the NBA’s second best record.
Ja Morant is a great player, but he has little playoff experience. Last year, Ja Morant made his playoff debut, after defeating the Warriors. His first playoff experience ended at the hands of Utah. This year, the Grizzlies had a tough series against the Timberwolves. Now they have the Warriors, who are championship tested. In Game 3, Ja Morant hurt his knee. As a result, Ja will miss Game 4.
