Morant helped off court after rolling ankle vs. Thunder
Memphis Grizzlies superstar Ja Morant left Friday's 121-110 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder after rolling his ankle.
The 2022 Most Improved Player was helped off the floor late in the contest after landing awkwardly while attempting a floater in the paint.

Morant, 23, missed one game last week after rolling the same ankle, and Friday's contest was just his second since returning to the Grizzlies' lineup. He scored 19 points in 32 minutes before exiting, adding seven rebounds and 11 assists.
Memphis is already without Morant's backcourt mate Desmond Bane, who is nursing a sprained toe. Fellow starter Jaren Jackson Jr., meanwhile, made just his second appearance of the season Friday after returning from foot surgery.
