Another 3-for-18! Morant has seriously declined this season and turned into an offensive black hole.

The Grizzlies lost to the Thunder 100-114 and suffered a 19-point reversal.

Ja Morant is still in bad shape. He played 32 minutes, made 3 of 18 shots, 2 of 7 three-pointers, scored 11 points, 8 assists, 3 turnovers and 5 fouls, with a net loss of 23 points.

Morant is in extremely sluggish form this season, shooting only 35.8% from the field, 14.8% from three-point range, and only 48% from the field, which is a complete offensive black hole. With no change in offensive possession, the true shooting percentage is nearly 10 percentage points lower than in previous years.

The Grizzlies previously suspended Morant for one game for "harming the interests of the team." The cause was a conflict between Morant and new head coach Tuomas Isalo. Morant also bluntly said after the loss to the Pistons that he did not have the joy of playing.

Since signing a five-year, 197.2 million contract in 2022, Morant has been suspended twice in the past two seasons due to gun possession issues, and has only played 59 games in two seasons due to various injuries. His 200 million contract enters its third season this year. Some media said that Morant's current transaction value has dropped to a low point. His annual salary in the three seasons is 39.5 million, 42.2 million, and 44.9 million respectively.
