UPDATE: Morant missed Sunday’s game and is now considered week-to-week with a Grade 1 AC joint sprain.
Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant appeared shaken up and left the court for the locker room after taking a hard screen during Friday night’s game.
Midway through the third quarter against the Pelicans, Morant ran into a hard screen set by Daniel Theis above the break. Morant crumpled to the ground, then went back to the locker room apparently holding his neck.
At the time he exited the game, Morant had totaled 25 points and seven assists in 25 minutes of action.
