Grizzlies vs Lakers final score, highlights: Ja Morant injured, but Memphis wins
Ja Morant left with a right hamstring injury, but the Memphis Grizzlies cruised to a 131-114 win over the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday night at FedExForum.
The Grizzlies (5-4) built a lead in the third quarter thanks to 11 points from Jay Huff. Even after Morant left the game following a hard fall on a missed alley-oop, Memphis continued to extend the lead and ultimately won with plenty of room to spare.
Los Angeles was without Anthony Davis and Rui Hachimura, and it got very little from anyone not named LeBron James. The 39-year-old finished with 39 points, seven rebounds and six assists.
Morant, Jaylen Wells and Jaren Jackson Jr. each had 20 points to lead the Grizzlies.
Memphis is back in action on Friday night at home against the Wizards.
