PLAYOFFS BLOW

MEMPHIS Grizzlies star Ja Morant could miss the remainder of the NBA post-season after suffering a bone bruise in his right knee, the team announced on Wednesday.

In a potentially fatal blow to the Grizzlies’ playoff hopes as they attempt to overturn a 3-1 series deficit against Golden State, Memphis said Morant was “doubtful” to return this season. He limped out of the Grizzlies 142-112 pummelling by the Warriors in San Francisco on Sunday after being injured in the fourth quarter.

Memphis hosts the Warriors in game five of the series on Thursday (AEDT).
