Memphis Grizzlies at New Orleans Pelicans
· National Basketball AssociationMorant hurts his shoulder but Jackson scores 33 as the Grizzlies top the Pelicans 132-124

Morant was knocked from the game when he was flattened by Pelicans center Daniel Theis' hard but legal screen.
The Grizzlies never ruled Morant out of the game, classifying him as doubtful after he went to the locker room to be examined. He returned to the bench and cheered on his team from there.
Jackson held the Pelicans at bay, with help from Desmond Bane, who finished with 18 points, and Scottie Pippen Jr., who scored 13 points. Zach Edey added 14 points.
Trey Murphy III scored 35 points and CJ McCollum 32 for the Pelicans, who've lost nine straight and 18 of 19. Theis had 11 points and 11 rebounds.
Pelicans: After being run off their own court in a 128-111 loss to Houston a night earlier, New Orleans looked more feisty and competitive, but lacked the firepower to keep pace, falling to 0-14 in games missed by injured wing Brandon Ingram and 3-23 in games without injured power forward Zion Williamson.
