Ja Morant left Wednesday’s win over the Lakers early due to a hamstring injury, though the issue didn’t appear to be too concerning.

The Grizzlies missed an alley-oop when he tried to throw down a dunk off a lob pass, but ended up high above the rim.

However, he missed the ball and landed hard on the ground.

Los Angeles picked up the loose ball and the play quickly moved to the other side of the field.

Morant was slow to get up and he staggered off the floor before walking through the tunnel.

The Grizzlies initially said Morant was questionable to return due to a hamstring problem, but the Memphis star never returned to the game.

Morant told reporters, “I’m doing good” when asked about the injury after the game, but also added, “You’ll find out when Grizz PR puts out the tweet,” according to Drew Hill of The Daily Memphian.

Morant had 20 points in the win with five assists and four rebounds.

It’s unclear if he will play Friday when the Grizzlies play the Wizards.

Morant had made his presence felt in the game as he took on NBA superstar LeBron James, even drawing a technical foul after Morant appeared to purposefully bump into James after a big basket.

James expressed his excitement at seeing Morant back on the field after playing just nine games in 2023-24 due to a 25-match suspension and a season-ending injury.

“It’s great to have him back there for sure,” James told reporters.

“Two guys from the inner city who like to compete,” he added of the back-and-forth with Morant. “We all grew up playing on the asphalt, playing outside and competing at a high level without cameras around. It was just a bunch of people talking, going out and playing games. That’s what the essence of the game is about.”
