Grizzlies' Ja Morant: Posts monster triple-double
Morant registered 26 points (9-16 FG, 2-5 3PT, 6-7 FT), 10 rebounds, 14 assists and one steal in 29 minutes during Thursday's 122-99 victory over the Bucks.
Morant had his way throughout the evening and managed to rack up double-digit assists for the fourth time in five appearances this season. He also set his best scoring mark of the young campaign by pouring in 26 points in an efficient manner. Memphis figures to continue to rely heavily on the 25-year-old point guard while a good chunk of the club's normal rotation returns to health.

Grizzlies' Ja Morant: Sniffs triple-double in loss
Morant supplied 14 points (5-16 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds and 11 assists in 29 minutes during Wednesday's 119-106 loss to the Nets.
Morant returned from a one-game absence due to a thigh injury, and while his efficiency was subpar at best, he still found a way to impact the game and deliver a quality fantasy line. The star guard finished just two rebounds shy of a triple-double, and while he can have poor shooting performances from time to time, his fantasy impact goes well beyond what he can do as a scorer. Through four games this season, Morant is averaging 19.0 points, 8.3 assists and 3.8 rebounds per game.

The All-Star point guard posted two double-doubles through his first three games, averaging 20.7 points, 7.3 assists and 2.3 rebounds in 25.7 minutes per game. As expected, he's part of Wednesday's starting lineup.

Grizzlies' Ja Morant: Questionable for Monday

Morant was deemed questionable for Saturday's contest due to thigh soreness, but he played through the issue and recorded a 16-point, 10-assist double-double across 25 minutes. The injury now has Morant's status for Monday in question, but considering he was able to shed the designation Saturday, he could have a good chance of suiting up. If he is unable to go, Scotty Pippen will see an increased role.

Grizzlies' Ja Morant: Leads Griz with 24 points Friday
Morant closed with 24 points (8-17 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 6-9 FT) and two assists over 24 minutes during Friday's 128-108 loss to the Rockets.
Morant scored a game-high 24 points Friday, though he wasn't able to fill the box score out other than two dimes. He did lead both teams with six turnovers, but that's to expected on some nights as a ball-dominant guard. Morant has gotten to the line nine times in each of the first two games of the 2024-25 campaign, and his ability to draw defenders while getting to the basket will open the floor for Desmond Bane, Marcus Smart and the rest of the Grizzlies offense.

Grizzlies' Ja Morant: Double-doubles in season opener
Morant amassed 22 points (7-12 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 8-9 FT), five rebounds, 10 assists and one steal over 28 minutes during Wednesday's 126-124 victory over Utah.
Morant dazzled both as a scorer and playmaker for the Grizzlies in this one. Even though he finished third in scoring behind Desmond Bane (24 points) and Santi Aldama (27 points), the star floor general was influential for Memphis and carried the team to victory. One of the most electric point guards in the league, Morant should be in line for a strong 2024-25 season after being limited to just nine regular-season appearances in 2023-24 due to injuries and suspensions. It's worth noting that during his last full season in 2022-23, Morant averaged 26.2 points, 8.1 assists, 5.9 rebounds and 1.1 steals over 31.9 minutes in 61 regular-season outings.

Morant registered 17 points (7-12 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, six assists, two steals and one block over 25 minutes in Friday's 114-109 preseason defeat to the Heat.
Morant returned to the starting lineup Friday following a three-game absence due to an ankle injury, and he finished the preseason finale with a team-high eight rebounds. Morant is looking to bounce back from a tumultuous 2023-24 campaign, during which he missed 73 regular-season games due to suspension and major shoulder surgery. During his last full season in 2022-23, he averaged 26.2 points, 8.1 assists, 5.9 rebounds and 1.1 steals over 31.9 minutes in 61 regular-season games.
