The NBA playoffs caused fans to be dissatisfied with Morant's "plane" injury, and Dort had something to say

In the third game of the first round of the NBA playoffs on the 25th, Morant, the first brother of the Grizzlies, was knocked down by the Thunder defensive titan Dort in the second quarter, and fell directly to the ground head-on, and finally did not return to the court due to a hip injury. The Grizzlies led by 29 points at one point before losing to the Thunder 108-114 and the series ended at a 0-3 run. Dort said in an interview after the game that he hoped Morant would be safe and sound, and also said that he didn't mean to.

The Grizzlies launched a fast break with 3 minutes and 14 seconds left in the second quarter, and when Morant received a pass from Grizzlies guard Pippen Jr., when he jumped up and was about to dunk, he was knocked down by Dort, and fell to the ground directly "on the plane", and the foul did not escalate in the end, and Morant made two free throws before exiting, but neither of them scored.

Grizzlies acting head coach Isalo said he is not sure if Morant will be able to play the next game, and he will be further evaluated tomorrow, and it is unclear which side of the hip injury is or the specific condition of the injury.

Dort said after the game, "Of course I hope he (Morant) is okay, I'm playing hard for the team, I was running fast and suddenly I stopped suddenly, I didn't expect him to be behind me, and I just slipped and I tried to get the ball, but we just bumped into each other and he fell to the ground, but I hope he's okay, I didn't mean to hit him." ”

Dort's defensive moves were criticized by many foreign fans, and he responded to this, "They can say whatever they like, but the important thing is that he got up and took the free throws at the end, and I gave him a high-five, and of course I apologized to him." When a good player like him goes down, it's definitely not a good thing. But people can say whatever they want. ”
