Coming back from an injury, Ja Morant<\/a> dropped 22 points to go along with 11 assists while leading the Memphis Grizzlies to a win against the Portland Trail Blazers at FedExForum. Two of those 22 points were the highlight of the night, as Morant rose for a thunderous dunk. It was a dunk attempt that sidelined Morant the last time, but he didn\u2019t hesitate to jump even higher and land a massive one-handed slam. But will we see more Ja Morant dunks this season?<\/p>\n

Ja Morant Says No More Dunking<\/h2>\n

The fans and the commentators went crazy when Morant rose for that vicious dunk, but they might have to wait a while for him to land a similar punch.<\/p>\n

Known as one of the most vicious and aggressive dunkers, Ja said that might be the last dunk of the season after the game. Speaking after the game, when the reporter asked what was going through his mind during the dunk, the Grizzlies star point guard said,<\/p>\n

\u201cI really wanted to lay that up, but that\u2019s my one dunk for the year. So, you all be enjoying that.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Previously in the interview, Ja talked about how he felt coming back from an injury, saying,<\/p>\n

\u201cI felt pretty good and made sure I was ready to come out and play my normal minutes. Felt pretty good shooting the ball and everything.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
