Ja Morant came away from Sunday's game with the New Orleans Pelicans with 32 points, a 107-104 victory and what was almost the dunk of the year.

Something has to give soon as the Grizzlies are shooting 33.9% over the past 15 games (23rd overall). Morant has been a steadying presence during this difficult stretch though. Jenkins emphasized Morant’s toughness and adaptability, particularly as the team has dealt with injuries and frequent changes to its rotation.
