Ja Morant and the Memphis Grizzlies return to action on Sunday with their second scrimmage game ahead of the season restart this month at the Walt Disney World Resort.
Morant scored seven points, eight assists and five rebounds in 27 minutes of work in the Grizzlies’ first scrimmage game on Friday against the Philadelphia 76ers. He struggled with his shot, though, converting on just 3-of-12 from the field in the loss.
Despite struggling with his shot, Morant still put on a show. He had a number of highlight-reel dunks and had some flashy passes, including an alley-oop to Jaren Jackson Jr. Players are still working out the kinks ahead of the restart so Morant should bounce back in his second game.
