It was at the end of the second period that Memphis' 21-year-old star Ja Morant jumped into a melee with Brooklyn's Timothé Luwawu-Cabbarot and stepped crookedly in the landing.

The American reacted strongly and immediately jumped off the field on one leg and then collapsed on the floor at the sideline.

Morant, who grinned badly, could not support his left leg but had to be brought into the dressing room with the help of a wheelchair.

Hans Memphis won the game 116-111 after extra time, their first victory this season, but then it should be noted that Brooklyn rested its two biggest stars in the form of Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving.

In their absence, Caris LeVert pulled a heavy load with 28 points and eleven assists.

Yes, Morant had before the night's round started the season this year very strong and averaged 36 points per game, albeit only after two games played.
