NBA Playoffs: Morant injury against Warriors in game 3 causes discussions - grizzlies

Yes Morant injured his knee in the fourth quarter of game 3 at the Golden State Warriors - and that caused discussions. The grizzlies threw opponents Jordan Poole intention, who rejected this.

It happened in the middle of the fourth quarter when the game was actually decided in favor of the Warriors. 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.

Jordan Poole: Didn't want to hurt Morant

Poole rejected the allegations. "It was a normal play when we doubled it. I wanted to have the ball and also touched it. I didn't want to hurt anyone, I am not such a player. I respect every1. Hopefully it is nothing bad and he is in game 4 again in the field. "

Grizzlies-Big Jaren Jackson Jr., who played with a Pool together on the high school, Poole also did not want to accommodate any intention, while Klay Thompson explained it in his way: "I don't think he's strong enough for a knee injury To cause. It is also not our style to hurt other players. "

It was almost a minor matter that the Warriors game 3 clearly won with 142: 112. Golden State now leads in the series with 2-1, game 4 takes place in San Francisco on Tuesday at 2 a.m. in German.
