Entering the new campaign without Ja Morant after trading their star to Portland during the offseason, the Grizzlies defied expectations. The early-season surge places Memphis alongside Houston as the only teams yet to lose in the Western Conference.

Cameron Boozer Records First Career Triple-Double

Rookie Cameron Boozer delivered the defining performance of the contest, notching the first triple-double of his professional career. Selected third overall in the recent NBA Draft, the 19-year-old finished the night with 18 points, 12 rebounds, and 12 assists. Commenting on his milestone performance and the team’s early momentum, Boozer maintained a relaxed outlook after the final buzzer. “It’s nice,” Boozer said. “I will keep going. The season has just started, we have 77 more games—so a lot ahead of us.”

Ja Morant and Damian Lillard Struggle in Reunion

The fixture marked Ja Morant’s first appearance against Memphis since his departure to the Trail Blazers following seven years with the Grizzlies. Morant had an average evening in his return to familiar territory, scoring 14 points. Damian Lillard endured a difficult shooting night for Portland, finishing with nine points while converting just one of his nine attempts from beyond the three-point arc.
