Ja Morant: Health Over Highlight Dunks

Ja Morant is prioritizing health over his signature highlight dunks. In the Grizzlies’ 121-116 loss to the Mavericks, Morant opted for a simple two-hand dunk in a fast break instead of a spectacular finish.

“I’m not trying to dunk at all,” Morant said, citing durability concerns after injuries like the hip issue that sidelined him for eight games last month. Despite fans’ disappointment, Morant emphasized, “Two points is two points. That’s all that matters.”
