Ja Morant continues to impress. Most recently, the 22-year-old star of the Memphis Grizzlies exploded with 52 points in a win over the San Antonio Spurs.
This season he has had multiple 40-plus-point games. Just in February he did it twice. In addition to an MVP-like performance, Morant is also making plenty of highlights.
Luka Doncic says that Morant, who became an All-Star for the first time this season, is playing at an MVP level this year.
Via Callie Caplan of The Dallas Morning News:
“I saw the dunk and the last-second buzzer beater. Amazing. He’s been playing amazing this season, MVP level. Everybody saw this season what he is, and he’s an unbelievable player, unbelievable skills and so fun to watch.”
This season Morant is averaging 27.6 points, 5.9 rebounds and 6.6 assists per game for the Grizzlies.
