Ja Morant could miss a month after straining left hamstring in Blazers’ loss to Grizzlies
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Ja Morant, the Portland guard, could be sidelined for a month due to a left hamstring strain sustained during a game against his former team, the Memphis Grizzlies. The Trail Blazers announced on Friday that Morant injured his hamstring on Thursday and would undergo further evaluation in four weeks. Despite scoring 14 points in 23 minutes during the Blazers' first loss of the season, the 2020 Rookie of the Year is now facing an extended period of recuperation. Before joining Portland in the offseason, Morant had been an All-Star in Memphis twice.
