Morant was grabbing at his jaw and headed to the locker room with 7:57 remaining in the third quarter of Tuesday's game versus the Lakers. Morant tallied 27 points (10-14 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three assists and two rebounds in 20 minutes before exiting Tuesday's contest.

Given the morose vibes of the locker room following the Grizzlies' fourth straight loss, no one even chuckled, which actually shows some real maturity among the assembled press. Usually the media has to guess that something like that has happened during a game and even then the athlete usually denies it.
