Memphis Grizzlies star point guard Ja Morant rushed to the locker room after suffering what appeared to be a right hand injury during Game 1 of the first-round playoff series against the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday. 

Morant went for a highlight-reel dunk on Lakers forward Anthony Davis, who instead took a charge in the paint. Morant, who got way up in the air before committing the foul, puts his hands out to brace his fall, but it didn’t go according to plan. 

Slow-motion video of the fall showed Morant’s fingers collapsing back as he hit the hardwood, and his face said it all.

Morant initially lay in pain on the court before popping up and running back to the locker room. He could be heard in pain over the broadcast.

Morant returned to the Grizzlies’ bench with black tape wrapped around his hand.

GRIZZLIES' JA MORANT FILES COUNTERSUIT AGAINST TEEN HE GOT INTO PHYSICAL ALTERCATION WITH: REPORT

Morant, who had 18 points prior to leaving the game, dealt with a right-hand injury that he suffered on April 7 against the Milwaukee Bucks. He’d return to that game, and head coach Taylor Jenkins said X-rays were negative.

However, Morant was wearing what appeared to be white tape on his right hand during the game.

Memphis is obviously holding its breath as the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference wants its leading scorer on the court. Morant averaged 26.2 points during the regular season.

The Grizzlies ended up losing Game 1 to the Lakers, 128-112, as Los Angeles pulled away late in the fourth quarter.

The series will continue from Memphis on Wednesday, with Game 2 tipping off at 7:30 p.m. ET.

Fans of the Broadway musical "Wicked" are getting their first little taste of the upcoming big screen adaptation.

Director John M. Chu, who also directed the hit film "Crazy Rich Asians," tweeted out an image of Elphaba and Glinda, played by Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande respectively, in a tease for the movie.

"You weren’t told the whole story. What happens when you veer off the Yellow Brick Road? Here is your very FIRST LOOK of #WickedMovie … currently in production in Oz."

"Wicked" is being broken into two parts, with the first part set to release Christmas Day 2024, and the second Christmas Day 2025.

Some fans have noted the images are dark and it's hard to see much detail of Grande and Erivo.

"I know it's still being shot and it won't be ready until next year, but will the final versions of these two shots be brighter than this? Please confirm," requested one person.

"Girl please turn on the lights by the time I can watch this movie," a commenter joked.

"Looks like Wicked has been ‘Tim Burton-ised’ It's a bright, in your face show. These just look dark," said another.

Chu responded, "Don’t worry, color is in my DNA… this is just the first tease. Plenty of time to show more… stay tuned."

Grande, who has been out of the spotlight while filming the musical, also recently responded to people's comments on social media, specifically those about changes to her body and weight.

"I just wanted to address your concerns about my body and talk a little about what it means to be a person with a body, and to be seen and be paid such close attention to," the 29-year-old said in a TikTok.

"I think we should be gentler and less comfortable commenting on peoples bodies, no matter what. If you think you’re saying something good or well-intentioned, whatever it is — healthy, unhealthy, big, small, this, that, sexy, not sexy — we just shouldn’t," she said. "We should really work towards not doing that as much. 

In the video, Grande noted she was on antidepressants and drinking and "eating poorly" when "I looked the way you consider my healthy. But that, in fact, wasn’t my healthy." 

She added, "You never know what someone is going through, so even if you are coming from a loving place and a caring place, that person probably is working on it or has a support system that they are working on it with. You never know, so be gentle with each other and with yourselves."
