Memphis Grizzlies star rookie Ja Morant appeared to suffer an injury with a scary fall Monday against the Indiana Pacers.

But after being helped off the court in the third quarter, he returned to action shortly after a trip to the locker room.

Scary tumble

Morant fell backward into a camera operator sitting on the baseline after attacking the basket on a layup attempt in the third quarter.
