All-Star guard Ja Morant won’t be on the court when the Grizzlies take the floor against the Warriors on Monday night, but his injury status didn’t prevent him from hopping on Twitter before tip-off.
Shortly before Game 4 of the Western Conference playoff series got underway, Morant took to social media to send out an optimistic message to his followers.
“stand tall. stay solid. – God wouldn’t put something hard in your life if he thought you weren’t strong enough to get thru it,” he wrote.
Morant’s tweet came just after Grizzlies coach Taylor Jenkins ruled out his starting point guard from Monday’s game with a right knee injury. Jenkins said that Morant will continue to be evaluated in the coming days and that the team’s doctors will continue to work on the All-Star’s knee.
