According to the reports, the player will not be playing in the following game. As game 4 results were in favor of the Warriors, where they scored 101-98.
It is at this point that the Warriors stand a chance of eliminating Memphis and advancing directly to the Western Conference Finals.
With Memphis, Morant will miss the game. And Santi Aldama cannot play because of a strained right knee. Furthermore, Killian Tillie is also out.
Right now, the Warriors lead Memphis by a 3-1 margin in the series. The Grizzlies will have difficulty playing in Game 5 against the Warriors without Morant. On the other hand, if we look at their regular-season record, they were 20-5 without Morant.
The Warriors crashed to a substantial degree in game 4, as their performance was below par. A win with a narrow difference, especially with Morant out for the Grizzlies.
The warriors are in good shape, although they need to work hard on improving their game, especially after their previous performance.
The Grizzlies will surely be affected by the absence of their top player in the upcoming match. Nevertheless, it will be interesting to see how Game 5 goes for both teams.
