Jordan Poole denies intentionally injuring Ja Morant's knee after Grizzlies point guard limps off

SAN FRANCISCO -- The Memphis Grizzlies are concerned about their star point guard Ja Morant, who limped off the court with over five minutes remaining in a blowout loss to Golden State after Jordan Poole grabbed Morant's right knee during a trap near halfcourt.

Morant left without talking to reporters but tweeted " broke the code" with video of Poole grabbing his knee on a fourth-quarter play before later deleting the tweet. Morant could be seen walking with a limp toward the team bus following Memphis' 142-112 Game 3 loss at the Chase center on Saturday night.
