Ja Morant takes a hard fall and appears to injury his wrist | NBA on ESPN

Ja Morant left the Memphis Grizzlies' Game 1 matchup against the Los Angeles Lakers after taking a hard fall and hurting his wrist.

From a physical therapists perspective he hyper flexed his wrist and likely caused some ligament sprains. Spraining ligaments is often worse than breaking bones b/c they don't have a great blood supply.
There are three grades of sprains depending on the severity. A grade one is just a stretch, a grade 2 is a partial tear and 3 is a full tear. A grade one can be rehabilitated in a couple weeks. A grade two is likely 4-8 weeks or longer, and full tears may require surgery.

Ja plays like he is in a video game sometimes. Very athletic player but you just can't try to jump over everyone. Hopefully he is okay because he is fun to watch even if the Grizzlies have some cocky players..

[mr__OK]

No way he thought he was getting over Ad from there

[tomascurti]

Honestly I'm surprised AD was unharmed

[jnova]

He plays with no regard for his body, and this is what happens.

[shashinga]

AD got tired of being the only one injured

[Mr.Stwi]

It was bound to happen here sooner or later. My guy tries to "posterize" too much... I think the league has you figured out Ja. "As soon as he starts to drive, plant your feet and prepare for the offensive foul"
Hope you are alright bro, and get you some wrist support...

A fact: ja morant can't hold his guns no more due to wrist injury

[vectorprime]

This is what happens when you play grown man games with a kid mentality

[KennyPowers.]

I'm just here for the Ja fans who were making fun of AD getting hurt 🍿🍿🍿🍿, now it's prayers up 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[TradeIQ_Profits]

They are about to come up with excuses again...FINE IN THE WEST🤣🤣🤣😂😂

[swishvfx]

A fact: ja Morant always gets injured in the playoffs

[SSJRome]

There’s pros and cons being such a high flyer

[RedEyesRobotics]

Huh...I remember last year when GPII fell on his wrist and Grizzly fans were like, "As a professiinal NBA player, he should know how to fall properly." Now isn't this interesting. 👀

[Avenue]

I told this dude Ja months ago you need to work on a jump shot more...all that driving into the rim, jumping so high and gotta land somewhere

[brandonrawlsmusic]

Ja's arrogance is destroying his life on and off the court. But that's black culture for you

[tengher]

Man as much as I dislike ja... I hope the best for don't hate players enough to wish them bad...get well soon ja.

[sports]

Obviously, he’s the most important player on the Grizzlies. Depending on the severity of the injury, they cannot beat the Lakers without his presence on the floor

[Starcaves]

That is so hard to watch. Prayers for Ja, will be surprised if he returns this series

[JCic]

Hard to pulled a triggered with an injure wrist
