Ja Morant scored 25 points before leaving with what appeared to be a minor right shoulder injury during the Memphis Grizzlies' 132-124 win over the slumping New Orleans Pelicans on Friday night. Morant was knocked from the game when he was flattened by Pelicans center Daniel Theis' hard but legal screen in the third quarter.

Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant has been the star of the show in Memphis as usual, but the 25-year-old All-Star has had a hard time staying on the court. Morant has already missed 12 games this season, and an early departure in Friday's matchup against the New Orleans Pelicans has left fans worried once again.

Jaren Jackson Jr. scored 33 points, Ja Morant scored 25 before leaving with what appeared to be a minor right shoulder injury, and the Memphis Grizzlies beat the slumping New Orleans Pelicans 132-124.
