Morant injures ankle

Memphis Grizzlies All-Star guard Ja Morant has a sprained left ankle that will keep him out at least a week and possibly longer. Memphis announced Saturday that Morant suffered a Grade 1 sprain during Friday night’s win over the Oklahoma City Thunder. Team officials said in a statement that Morant’s return timeline will be week-to-week with updates provided as appropriate. Morant left the 121-110 win late after scoring 19 points and having 11 assists. Grizzlies Coach Taylor Jenkins said after the game that Morant “tweaked” his ankle.
