Memphis fans now have many things to celebrate after a tough season. Ja Morant, who faced suspensions and injuries in 2023-24, is back on the court. In his first game, he showed off his skills with an incredible block that quickly turned into a viral slow-motion video of the day.
Morant started the preseason with an ankle injury, which forced him to leave the court after the third quarter. However, he shared a positive update that relieved Memphis fans, who are now celebrating his incredible blocking moment.
The play happened right after Morant returned from a brief foot injury. He burst onto the court and made an incredible block against Mavs newcomer Naji Marshall. A slow-motion replay of this amazing moment is going viral on social media after the Grizzlies win against the Mavericks.
Morant jumped so high to block that he had to turn his head to avoid hitting the backboard. Fans on Twitter are talking a lot about his brave move.
After playing just nine games last season due to a 25-game suspension and a shoulder injury, Morant’s spectacular block shows he’s ready to reclaim his place as one of the NBA’s top superstars.
