Despite being one of the top teams in the Western Conference for most of the regular season, the Memphis Grizzlies struggled to end the year and ended up in the Play-In Tournament. Despite ultimately securing the No. 8 seed in the West, the Grizzlies were swept by the Oklahoma City Thunder in the first round of the playoffs.

Ja Morant thinks the Memphis Grizzlies and Oklahoma City Thunder would be tied right now if he didn't get hurt.

Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant won't be available for Game 4 against the Oklahoma City Thunder, according to ESPN. Morant left Game 3 late in the second quarter because of a hip injury. After a pass from Scotty Pippen Jr., Morant planted his feet and jumped, but he was hit by Thunder wing Lu Dort before falling hard onto the FedExForum floor.
