Portland Trail Blazers guard Ja Morant exited his first game against his former team Memphis Grizzlies in the fourth quarter Thursday night due to a left hamstring injury. Morant had 14 points and three assists in 23 minutes before being ruled out of the 124-103 loss. Coach Micah Nori stated Morant felt a twinge in his hamstring and hoped to have more answers Friday, saying, "I'm hoping that it's nothing major, obviously." In his first season with Portland after seven years with Memphis, Morant averaged 16.3 points and 6.3 assists in 26.7 minutes.
The Trail Blazers began the season 3-0 before picking up their first loss. The Associated Press contributed to this report.
