Ja Morant<\/a> has had less than ten dunks<\/a> this season. Despite being known as one of the best in-game dunkers in the league right now, the Memphis Grizzlies point guard has been trying to stay away from plays that can hurt his health. He already said this season that he has no intention to dunk at all<\/a>, which sent Ja Morant fans into despair. But it seems like he flipped his no-dunking stance in the game against the Boston Celtics.<\/p>\n

Ja Morant is Playing with His Fans<\/h2>\n

In the third quarter, with Memphis in the lead, Ja took off on a baseline drive that had the crowd at the TD Garden buzzing. He sprinted toward the basket, but then Kristaps Porzingis<\/a> and Derrick White<\/a> rotated, trying to block his shot,\u00a0Morant quickly double-clutched mid-air and threw down a filthy reverse dunk. Is he back to dunking? Or was this just a one-time thing? It seems like Ja Morant is toying with his fans. While he might not be doing crazy alley-oops, when the situation calls, he is more than capable of delivering.<\/p>\n
