WATCH: Ja Morant lays on court and completes an alley-oop pass for dunk

Ja Morant of the Memphis Grizzlies was unable to play in Monday's game against the Chicago Bulls due to pain in his right thigh. Morant played despite being once more listed as questionable on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets.

Morant was not on the injury report for Thursday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks, Memphis' second night of a back-to-back, and he appears to be in good condition. Morant finished the first half with a nearly triple-double, scoring 21 points, dishing out nine assists, and pulling down eight rebounds. In NBA history, Ja Morant's triple-double on Thursday night was the eighth quickest. The triple-double took him 21 points and 28 seconds to complete.

However, he really got it going on Thursday, scoring 26 points, dishing out 14 assists, and pulling down 10 rebounds in only 29 minutes as the Grizzlies defeated the unfortunate Bucks 122-99. During Halloween night at FedExForum, Ja Morant had a surprise in store for the Memphis Grizzlies supporters. During the first two weeks of the season, the Grizzlies point guard made one of the finest passes by reaching inside his bag.

Ja Morant is in good form for new NBA season

Morant leaned up and fired an alley-oop pass to an open Santi Aldama while he was lying on the floor with Milwaukee Bucks players swarming around him. A reverse dunk was the outcome. After a lacklustre showing against the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday, Morant put on a display in the first half against the Bucks. At the half, he has nine assists, eight rebounds, and 21 points.

Morant has shot 42.1% from the field and 16.7% from three-point range in his first four games of the new season, averaging 19.0 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 8.2 assists per game. Their next game is against Darius Garland and the Cleveland Cavaliers in Wisconsin on Saturday night, after their game against Memphis.
