Memphis superstar Ja Morant seemed poised for a remarkable game, but the 25-year-old star went down in the third quarter with an apparent shoulder injury. Morant stayed down on the floor before being helped up and whisked to the locker room.

Jaren Jackson Jr. scored 33 points, Ja Morant scored 25 before leaving with what appeared to be a minor right shoulder injury, and the Memphis Grizzlies beat the slumping New Orleans Pelicans 132-124

Taylor Jenkins admitted the Grizzlies can't grumble about a loss to the Kings despite an unusually wild Jaren Jackson Jr. fourth-quarter stat.

The Memphis Grizzlies have a chance to cement themselves further as the two-seed in the Western Conference tonight, but they'll have to go against a volatile Sacramento Kings team that seems to be on a small groove.
