Morant was knocked from the game when he was flattened by Pelicans center Daniel Theis' hard but legal screen in the third quarter, leading to his shoulder injury. Despite the injury, Morant scored 25 points before leaving.
The Grizzlies organized a strong offensive showing, scoring over 130 points against the Pelicans, even with Morant scoring only a single point in the second half after his injury.
Coach Taylor Jenkins emphasized that Morant's condition would be reassessed over the following couple of days to pinpoint the severity of his shoulder issue.
This is particularly concerning as the injury is to the same shoulder that Morant had surgically repaired in January, raising questions about its impact on his recovery process.
