Memphis Grizzlies star point guard Ja Morant rushed to the locker room after suffering what appeared to be a right hand injury during Game 1 of the first-round playoff series against the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday.

Morant went for a standout dunk over Lakers forward Anthony Davis, who took over in the paint instead. Morant, who was airborne before the foul, puts out his hands to break his fall, but it didn’t go as planned.

Slow-motion video of the fall showed Morant’s fingers collapsing back as he hit the hardwood, and his face said it all.

Morant initially lay in pain on the court before turning up and running back to the locker room. You could hear her pain on the broadcast.

Morant returned to the Grizzlies dugout with a black ribbon wrapped around his hand.

Morant, who had 18 points before leaving the game, dealt with a right hand injury suffered on April 7 against the Milwaukee Bucks. He would return for that game, and head coach Taylor Jenkins said X-rays came back negative.

However, Morant was wearing what appeared to be a white ribbon on his right hand during the game.

Memphis is obviously holding its breath as the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference wants its leading scorer on the court. Morant averaged 26.2 points during the regular season.

The Grizzlies ended up losing Game 1 to the Lakers, 128-112, as Los Angeles pulled away late in the fourth quarter.
