The Thunder rallied from a 29-point deficit, staging the second-largest comeback in the NBA playoffs since play-by-play data began in the 1996-97 postseason. Morant landed hard on his left hip in the final minutes of the first half and did not return. Memphis held a 77-51 halftime lead but only mustered 31 points in the second half.

Memphis guard Ja Morant will not play in Game 4 of the Grizzlies' series against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Saturday while still dealing with a hip contusion from Game 3. Interim coach Tuomas Iisalo confirmed Morant’s absence during his pregame availability less than two hours before the game.
