Ja Morant suffers injury scare in Grizzlies vs. Mavericks

The Memphis Grizzlies faced the Dallas Mavericks in what was supposed to be a simple preseason game, but one that also had some exciting moments for Grizzlies fans.

In the second quarter, Memphis Grizzlies superstar Ja Morant tripped over a pass thrown by Kyrie Irving, resulting in Morant suffering an apparent ankle sprain. Morant was in visible pain and then immediately went back to the locker room.

Reporters on the scene mentioned that Morant was limping as he walked back to the locker room. It was a moment that silenced every single Memphis Grizzlies fan.

Luckily, Ja Morant returned later in the quarter and showed no signs of injury. In fact, he made a spectacular athletic block that amazed everyone in the arena. One of those typical Ja Morant blocks that no other player in the league can do.

As the Memphis Grizzlies and Dallas Mavericks head into halftime, it seems like Grizzlies fans can put their fears aside. Ja Morant is healthy and back on the field doing what he does. It'll be hard not to worry after seeing he only played nine games last season, but this is a new year. For now, just sit back and watch the show between the Memphis Grizzlies and Dallas Mavericks.
