Following the Memphis Grizzlies’ defeat against the Dallas Mavericks on November 3, 2024, star player Ja Morant conveyed his decision to reduce the number of dunks he attempts, emphasizing the effect of dunking on his body. He also noted that he has been taking hits from opposing defenders, resulting in brutal fouls.
Morant contradicted his earlier statements in the recent game against the Boston Celtics. During the third quarter, he made an impressive reverse dunk between two Celtics defenders, Derrick White and Kristaps Porzingis. Furthermore, after the game, he highlighted why he decided to lift his self-imposed dunk ban.
“I felt like if I didn’t, [Kristaps] Porzingis was going to block it. I really wanted to go for the reverse, but hey, another one.” Morant said in a recent post-game interview.
