Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant is out for Game 4 against the Golden State Warriors due to his knee injury, but he is keeping a positive mindset amid the latest setback.
On Twitter, Morant spoke out about his condition for the first time ever since sustaining the injury in Game 3 last Saturday. He sent out an encouraging tweet, highlighting how he is maintaining his optimism that he can go through it.
stand tall. stay solid.

The Grizzlies have remained mum about Ja Morant's condition despite already getting his MRI results, but all the signs point that it is quite a significant issue.
Earlier on Monday, Jaren Jackson Jr. called Morant's injury a “sad situation” before vowing to rally the team around him, which could signify that his injury is serious. The fact that the Grizzlies have not disclosed its severity is also confusing, suggesting that they could be hiding something.
Ja Morant is a key cog for the Grizzlies, and his absence cripples their offensive firepower by a lot. While Memphis is a deep team, the 22-year-old superstar has been their go-to guy for much of the playoffs, delivering the important buckets for the squad even when he's struggling to score.
Hopefully, though, the speculations are not true and Morant will still be able to play in their Western Conference semifinals series against the Warriors. If not, the Grizzlies will surely have a difficult time competing.
