MEMPHIS — Grizzlies superstar Ja Morant exited Thursday’s Game 3 114-108 loss against the Oklahoma City Thunder because of a hip injury sustained during a hard fall with 3:15 remaining in the second quarter.

Morant was spotted on crutches in the tunnel by Memphis’ bench during the fourth quarter. Grizzlies interim coach Tuomas Iisalo said Morant’s status for Saturday’s potential elimination game is uncertain.

“He’s going through further evaluations tomorrow,” said Iisalo, who was unaware which hip Morant injured or the nature of the injury. “Then we’ll know more.”

Morant crashed to the court after Oklahoma City guard Luguentz Dort fouled him on a high-flying attempt to finish on a fast break.

After being helped to his feet, Morant limped to the line to take his free throws, missing both. He immediately checked out of the game and hobbled to the locker room, removing his jersey as he entered the tunnel.

If Morant hadn’t attempted the free throws, he automatically would have been ruled out of the game.

Dort approached Morant while he was at the line, tapping him on his chest and apologizing.

“It’s a tough one,” Dort said. “I was running back, making a hustle play for my team. I was running quick, stopped on a dime. I didn’t know he was behind me and I was slipping, so I still tried to make a play on the ball. … I hope he’s OK. I obviously didn’t mean to hit him like that.”

The Grizzlies led by 27 when Morant exited. Memphis extended the lead to 29, the largest of the night, on the next possession.

Morant finished with 15 points and 5 assists in 16 minutes before being injured.

Morant was limited to 50 games during the regular season, missing time due to a variety of injuries.

He suffered his most serious injury this season — a posterior hip subluxation along with associated pelvic muscle strains — when he took a hard fall after a midair collision in a Nov. 6 home win over the Los Angeles Lakers. He missed the next eight games.
