Just before injury, Ja Morant sets new record

It is undoubtedly the news of the night: the sad wound of Ja Morant. While waiting for news from the leader, he had time to set a new record by passing. Not bad at all.

Despite the victory against the Nets, the Grizzlies are arguably the lead on Tuesday. The reason ? Ja Morant’s injury, which looks pretty serious from the footage. He really needed a wheelchair to reach the infirmaryis to say the pain felt by the rookie of the year. We now hope for a quick recovery.

Because if Memphis wants to play in the playoffs for this year, this team will need Ja in great shape. Unfortunately, he is likely to miss a few games at least given the ankle injury. News will fall at the end of the day.

In the meantime, Morant can always console himself with some rare good news. In addition to the victory of his team despite his injury (116-111), the leader achieved a new franchise record to start this exercise. No doubt it is not the last one along the way.

Prior to leaving tonight’s game with an injury, Ja Morant scored 7 points, giving him 79 points on the season.

Just before leaving the game because of his injury, Ja Morant scored 7 points, giving him a total of 79 since the start of the season.

That’s the biggest total in the first three games for a Grizzlies player.

On scoring, passing: Morant continues to write Memphis history. As we told you, it is far from over even if for that, he will have to quickly return to the courts. First elements of response this Tuesday evening.

Injury or not, Ja Morant continues to write the history of his team. Considering the time he will be spending with the Grizzlies, this is just the beginning for him.
