Ja Morant ‘lightning’ strikes magic in an amazing shop window

ByNBAUSA



On Sunday afternoon, The Memphis Grizzlies fell to the floor in London against the Orlando Magic, looking to bounce back after blowing a 20-point lead against Orlando three days earlier in another international game. this time, I Morant is back in the lineup after missing the last few games with an injury as trade rumors continue to swirl around the team.

Morant showed off his full arsenal of skills in this game, scoring 24 points with 13 assists, including 20 points on just seven field goal attempts in the first half alone. The Grizzlies ended up winning 126-109, controlling things for the most part from the start.

“He’s a lightning bolt coming down the hill,” Magic head coach Jamahl Mosley said after the gameaccording to NBA insider Marc Stein on X, formerly Twitter.

Morant seemed to be having a lot of fun on the court during this game.

If anything, the game likely served as a good trade showcase for Morant and the Grizzlies as the team works to find him a new home, as ESPN NBA Insider Shams Charania reported last week.

Several teams have been highlighted as potential landing spots for the point guard, including the Miami Heat and Milwaukee Bucks, as Morant looks to recapture his 2022-23 form, which has seen him as a potential future face of the league at that point.

Morant has suffered through arguably the worst season of his career thus far, but perhaps this performance against a stout Magic defense will be just what he needs to get back on track and motivate another team to part with some assets to bring him.

The Grizzlies will next take the floor on Wednesday night in Memphis against the Atlanta Hawks.
