I want to remind you of something. This season, the Grizzlies had 20 wins and just 5 losses in games without Ja Morant.
That includes a whopping 123-95 victory over the Warriors on March 28. In fact, during the regular season, Memphis had a better net rating with Morant off the floor (6.9) than when he was on (4.7) in 2021-22.
