Ouch … right in the pouch.
Memphis Grizzlies players can’t stop punching Lakers players in the junk. Monday night’s Game 4 between the Memphis Grizzlies and Los Angeles Lakers featured two LA players getting decked in the downstairs.
It seems like players are either getting injured or punched in the nads every night a Memphis-Lakers game is being played. On Saturday, Brooks was booted from Game 3 in the third quarter after punching “The King” LeBron James in the groin.

The Grizzlies were 6.7 seconds away from heading back home to Memphis with a tied series. Then, as he’s done time and time again, LeBron James came through in the clutch.
James sunk a game-tying layup with 0.8 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter, then spearheaded a tough overtime performance to give the Lakers a 117–111 victory and a 3–1 series lead. James finished the game with 22 points, 20 rebounds and seven assists, becoming the first Lakers player with 20 points and 20 rebounds in a postseason game since Shaquille O’Neal in 2004.

After going off for 56 points in a pivotal Game 4 win over the Bucks Monday night, Jimmy Butler took a moment to publicly endorse another fellow star at the center of the race for the 2023 Most Valuable Player award. 
The Heat star rightfully earned “MVP” chants from the home crowd in Miami en route to helping his team secure a commanding 3–1 series lead over the top-seeded Bucks.

After missing a last-minute, potential Finals berth-clinching three against the Celtics in Game 7 of last year’s Eastern Conference finals, Jimmy Butler didn’t sulk. He didn’t watch the shot on a loop over the summer. He didn’t spend the offseason wondering “what if?” Instead, he told those close to him if he earned a similar opportunity next postseason, not only would he shoot that gutsy three again, next time he would make it.

Rookie Taj Bradley won his third consecutive start to begin his big league career, and the Tampa Bay Rays set a modern-era MLB record with their 14th consecutive home win to begin a season, beating the Houston Astros 8-3 on Monday night.
