Memphis Grizzlies star point guard Ja Morant has been slowly altering his playstyle six games into the 2024-25 season, averaging 20.0 points and 9.8 assists through his first six appearances. Morant has focused on expanding his elite playmaking ability, rising to fourth in the NBA in assists per game.

The Grizzlies got outstanding games from Ja Morant and Zach Edey but the rest of the supporting cast fell short against the Nets.

The Memphis Grizzlies and Ja Morant would like to forget last season. The star is "itching" to reset and regain his — and the team's — status.
