Working his way back from a 25-game absence, Ja Morant returned as only a player of his caliber could: with a cold-blooded game-winner. One of the game’s most electrifying talents, Morant played the role of crowd-silencer, using a nifty between-the-leg and spin combination before steadying himself for a game-clinching layup to stun the New Orleans Pelicans’ crowd. The Memphis Grizzlies star had a storybook performance, helping his team climb out of a 24-point deficit to snag a signature win on December 19, 2023. Morant was instrumental, lighting up the scoreboard for 34 points in just 35 minutes, along with six rebounds, eight assists, two steals and a block. · Dec 20, 2023
