Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant didn't care that he dunked on Victor Wembanyama after being asked about it postgame.
Morant has had several injuries over the past two seasons, and hopefully, this doesn't become a regular thing for one of the young, budding stars in the league. It will be interesting to see what his availability looks like closer to game time.
Wembanyama had 13 points and 12 rebounds for San Antonio when all was said and done. While the dunk didn’t count on the scoreboard, it’s sure to remain a memorable one for basketball fans.
The Memphis Grizzlies defeated the San Antonio Spurs on the road Friday night, 140-112, without Ja Morant, who sat out due to right foot soreness. He has played in 24 of the Grizzlies first 42 contests on the season.
The NBA's leader in pace steamrolled slumping San Antonio in the second half Friday to send it to its fifth loss in the last six games.
