NBA News: Yes Morant from the Memphis Grizzlies questionable for the rest of the playoffs

Yes Morant will probably no longer return to the court in these playoffs. As the Memphis Grizzlies announced, the superstar has suffered a bone bruise in the right knee. From now on, his status is considered "doubtful".

Morant had already missed game 4 of the series against the Golden State Warriors, an MRI examination on Tuesday now revealed the seriousness of his injury. The grizzlies expect Morant to recover completely from the injury, but it will probably take some time.

Morant's injury had led to a controversy in the past few days after his team had accused Warriors Guard Jordan Poole to have brought about it from game 3 in the last quarter. Poole should have deliberately reached after Morant's knee, but there was no whistle.

Memphis sold Wacker in game 4, but in the end lost narrowly and is now fighting against the elimination in game 5 in front of a home crowd. Morant had launched an average of 38 points, 8 assists and 7 rebounds in three games against the Warriors.

At Twitter, the 22-year-old Most Impovered Player of the season already announced that he would return "better than ever".
