Ja Morant Almost Has A Triple-Double Friday
2 years agoMemphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant had another close call with a triple-double in Friday's matchup against Minnesota, completing a 114-103 win with 28 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists. That's now the third time in his past six games Morant has seen his fifth career triple-double slip away. This time it happened during a pretty poor shooting night, with Morant going only 2-for-10 with the three-ball and 11-for-25 from the field. He managed to add two steals to his stat line and committed four turnovers in 34 minutes. The Grizzlies star has been rocking since Game 1, and he's also managed to come through some rough matchups with flying colors. The next couple of spots aren't easy either, with Washington and New Orleans boasting pretty good defensive numbers against opposing point guards, but Morant rarely lets managers down and stays productive even during shaky shooting nights, as he proved on Friday.
