In a wide-ranging interview on the Pivot Podcast, Ja Morant expressed his belief that, without his injury in Game Three, his Memphis Grizzlies would have triumphed in their second round series with your Golden State Warriors.
“It was pretty much our year but that injury cause me to be out,” said Morant. “And now you have to change lineups and you know guys playing without me. I feel like that’s the most frustrating part for me. You know, being out there and not being able to compete.”
Morant bumped knees with Jordan Poole late in the third quarter of Game Three, and was subsequently ruled out of the remainder of the series.
