Ja Morant Not 100% Healthy
3 years agoMemphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant stated he isn't 100% healthy. The 22-year-old missed nine games toward the end of the regular season because of right knee soreness, which may explain his struggles on the scoring end during the first-round series with Minnesota. Morant is averaging 20.5 points per game throughout four postseason games, nearly seven points less than he had during the year. Yet, he's been more actively involved in other areas, especially as a distributor. Nonetheless, it's possible Morant may be limited offensively moving ahead. As a result, Desmond Bane, who had 34 points while shooting nearly 67% percent from deep in Game 4, may continue to be even more involved, at least until Morant's knee is fully recovered.
