The Memphis Grizzlies will likely be without their best player for the remainder of the 2022 NBA Playoffs.
The Grizzlies on Tuesday announced that Ja Morant has a bone bruise in his right knee and is considered doubtful for the remainder of the postseason.
It's a huge blow for Memphis, which is hoping to avoid elimination against the Golden State Warriors in Game 5 on Wednesday.

Morant, 22, appeared to be taking his injury in stride, as the star guard wrote, "all smiles" on Twitter Tuesday.
The Grizzlies said Morant underwent an MRI, which revealed the extent of the injury he suffered Saturday in the fourth quarter of Game 3.
Morant already missed Game 4 due to his injury, a 101-98 loss to the Warriors Monday at Chase Center in San Francisco.

But he will be sorely missed for the remainder of the western conference semifinals, as the Warriors lead 3-1.
Morant has been electric this postseason, averaging 27.1 points, 8.0 rebounds and 9.8 assists per game. He was even better in three games against the Warriors, as he scored at least 34 points in each of those contests, including 47 points in Game 2.

He led Memphis to a 56-26 record, and the team earned the No. 2 seed in the playoffs in the Western Conference.
