Ja Morant Injury: Officially doubtful for Game 4

Morant is listed as doubtful for Saturday for Game 4 of the Grizzlies' first-round playoff series versus the Thunder due to a hip contusion.

Earlier Friday, Shams Charania of ESPN relayed that Morant was in line to sit out Game 4, but the Grizzlies aren't officially closing the door on the star point guard suiting up, even though he looks to be trending toward an absence. Scotty Pippen has joined Morant in the starting five since the start of the Play-In Tournament and would likely see more time on the ball in the event Morant can't play. Luke Kennard (Achilles) -- who is listed as questionable -- along with John Konchar and Vince Williams could be the main players who benefit from added minutes if Morant is sidelined.
