Andrew Wiggins and Jordan Poole twice Morant at the level of the center line and as a pool towards the ball, he also pulled back the knee of the grizzlies star. Morant sank the two free throws, but shortly afterwards limp into the cabin.
"I don't know what was going on in his head," said Grizzlies coach Taylor Jenkins about Poole. "I don't want to say that he did it on purpose, but he captured the leg. I'm curious." Morant, on the other hand, was quite certain that this was the case, so at least his post on Twitter can be interpreted.
The Point Guard, who had scored 34 points until then, retired the campaign and wrote: "Broken the code". Morant thus referred to the PK of Warriors coach Steve Kerr after game 2 when this Grizzlies-Forward Dillon Brooks accused of intentions to Gary Payton II for his evil foul and called a "dirty play".
Payton broke the elbows in this campaign, Brooks was blocked for a game. It is currently still unclear whether Morant has injured more seriously. The all-star is examined in more detail promptly. The NBA will probably initiate an investigation, Morant has now deleted its tweet.
