Sat Apr 26 21:40:00 UTC 2025: ## Morant Out for Grizzlies’ Game 4 with Hip Contusion
**MEMPHIS, TN –** Memphis Grizzlies star point guard Ja Morant will miss Game 4 of their first-round playoff series against the Oklahoma City Thunder due to a hip contusion, interim coach Tuomas Iisalo confirmed Thursday. Morant sustained the injury during Game 3 after a hard fall following contact with Thunder player Lu Dort.
While the absence of their star player is a blow to the Grizzlies, Iisalo offered encouraging news, stating that Morant avoided a serious injury. This is a significant relief considering Morant’s history of hip problems, including an eight-game absence earlier this season due to a similar injury. The team anticipates Morant will have a normal offseason. His overall missed games this season amounted to 32, largely due to injury. The latest injury is not expected to sideline him for an extended period.
