Ja Morant will undergo a minor scope on his right knee, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported Saturday.

The point guard out of Murray State is expected to make a full recovery in three to four weeks.

Morant, 19, is projected to go No. 2 in the NBA draft after being the first Murray State player to be named a first-team All-American following the 2018-19 season.

He averaged 24.5 points and 10 assists per game during the campaign for the Racers and followed that up with a standout performance at the NCAA March Madness tournament recording a triple-double against Marquette University.
