Ja Morant limps out of Grizzlies-Warriors play-in game after rolling ankle
Brutal development for the Grizzlies.

Ja Morant has exited Tuesday's play-in game, just as the Memphis Grizzlies were on the verge of erasing a double-digit Golden State Warriors lead.
The Grizzlies star fell awkwardly on the foot of Warriors guard Buddy Hield on an and-1 in the third quarter and badly rolled his ankle. He remained in the game to shoot his free throw — not doing so would have prevented him from re-entering the game — but he was limping and grimacing in pain.
Memphis immediately committed a foul to stop play and take him out after he made the free throw.
