Ja Morant scored 49 points and hit five 3-pointers to lead the Memphis Grizzlies to a 129-122 victory over the Houston Rockets on Friday night. Morant carried the team on a night Desmond Bane and Tyus Jones struggled. Bane made just 3 of 16 shots for 14 points and Jones was 4-for-13 with 11 points. The Rockets led by 16 in the first half before the Grizzlies used a big run to start the third quarter and take the lead. Morant has eight 3-pointers in just two games this season after averaging 1.5 3s a game last season. Memphis coach Taylor Jenkins was asked if anyone can stop the young star now that he’s incorporated more 3-point shooting into his game. “I don’t think so,” he said. “What a phenomenal game by Ja. Just in attack mode throughout the game.”
Bobby Marks: There is a balancing act in Memphis of rewarding their own players but keeping an eye toward the future (Desmond Bane extension eligible next offseason). Here are the top 5 players as it relates to the 23-24 cap: Morant- 25% JJJ- 20.2% Jones- 10.5% Adams- 9.4% Clarke- 8.6%
Damichael Cole: Ja Morant: extended John Konchar: extended Steven Adams: extended Jaren Jackson Jr.: extended BC: extended Tyus Jones: re-signed Danny Green: TBD Of the rotation players, all eyes are now on what the Grizzlies will do with Dillon Brooks. He’s in the last year of his deal.
Eric Nehm: OUT for Memphis tonight: Ja Morant, Desmond Bane, Dillon Brooks, Steven Adams, Tyus Jones, Jaren Jackson Jr, Danny Green, Killian Tillie, Xavier Tillman
Drew Hill: Tyus Jones on coming back, knowing he’ll be off the bench “I’m not too prideful” to come off the bench he said. And he pointed out that there is no shame in backing up a player as good as Ja Morant.
Damichael Cole: Some notable Grizzlies players 2K23 overalls: Ja Morant – 93 (9th in NBA) Jaren Jackson – 84 Desmond Bane – 84 Steven Adams – 83 Dillon Brooks – 81 Tyus Jones – 80 Brandon Clarke – 78 John Konchar – 75 Ziaire Williams – 74 Rookies haven’t been added yet.
