Ja Morant was in the starting lineup for the Memphis Grizzlies Friday night vs. the Dallas Mavericks despite injuring his ankle earlier in the week.

The Grizzlies star came down 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 reentering the game — but he was limping and grimacing in pain.
