Jordan Poole denied making a dirty play on Ja Morant after the Grizzlies' star limped off with a knee injury at the end of Game 3
The Grizzlies were dealt injury to insult late during Saturday night’s 142-112 Game 3 loss to the Warriors when star point guard Ja Morant limped off the floor with a right knee injury. The injury has come under scrutiny for the manner in which it occurred, as Warriors guard Jordan Poole looked to grab and yank Morant’s knee during a scramble for the ball shortly.
Afterward, Poole was adamant that the play was not intentional, and that he was not a dirty player. He wished Morant a speedy recovery.. “And I hit the ball, and I was going for the ball. I mean, obviously, you don’t want to see anybody get hurt. I’m not even that type of player. I respect everybody.
