Grant, Williams Exit Early vs. Grizzlies with Injuries

Portland Trail Blazers center Robert Williams III didn’t play in the second half versus the Memphis Grizzlies Monday night because he is being evaluated for a concussion, the organization announced on social media.

Additionally, the Blazers said forward Jerami Grant exited the game at the 9:58 mark of the third quarter and didn’t return due to a left knee issue.

Williams dove hard for a loose ball and was whistled for a foul on Memphis guard Scotty Pippen Jr. at the 6:22 mark of the second quarter. He hit his head on the floor during the play and took some extra time getting up, but remained in the game until the 5:51 mark of the quarter.
