What? Strange Answer From Grizzlies' Coach About Ja Morant's Injury

On Monday, Memphis Grizzlies head coach Taylor Jenkins met with the media, and he was asked about the injury status of Ja Morant. The All-Star point guard is listed as doubtful for Game 4 against the Golden State Warriros.

The Memphis Grizzlies are in San Francisco to take on the Golden State Warriros for Game 4 of their second-round of their playoff series on Monday night.  

Head coach Taylor Jenkins met with the media before the game, and was asked about Ja Morant's injury status.

Surprisingly, the head coach was very vague when speaking about the All-Star point guard (as relayed by several reporters).

Ja Morant didn’t go through shootaround. Asked what injury specifically is, Taylor Jenkins said the injury is still being evaluated. He said Morant underwent an MRI but he won’t say the results. Asked if Morant will try to warmup before game, Jenkins said still to be determined.

Grizzlies coach Taylor Jenkins asked specifics of Ja Morant's knee injury & severity of it: "We're still working through that." Jenkins added that Morant took an MRI, but declined to share the results

Jenkins confirmed that Morant took an MRI on his knee, but did not share the results of the scan.  

Morant got injured at the end of Game 3, and did not return for the final few minutes. 

He has been listed all of Monday for Game 4, so he will likely be ruled out. 

The Warriors blew out the Grizzlies in Game 3 by a score of 142-112, so they have a 2-1 lead in the series. 

A win for the Warriors in Game 4 gives them a commanding 3-1 lead in the series, while a win for the Grizzlies ties up the series at 2-2 and gives them the momentum heading back to Memphis for Game 5.
