Ja Morant is prioritizing health over his signature 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.”
The center, selected by Utah with the 28th overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft, returns to the franchise where he spent the first three seasons of his career.
Golden State has parted ways with the three players, bringing its roster to 18 ahead of the start of the 2026-27 NBA season.
The Texas franchise has parted ways with the two guards following four and three preseason games, respectively.
The Wisconsin franchise has announced the release of the three players ahead of the start of the regular season.
New York has waived the veteran guard but could consider bringing him back in December, when NBA contracts become prorated.
