Ja Morant, one of the NBA’s preeminent aerial artists, is apparently no longer interested in high-flying dunks. On Nov. 6, the Memphis Grizzlies guard took a midair hit from Los Angeles Lakers center Christian Koloko while attempting to catch an alley-oop, which caused him to miss eight games with a partial posterior hip subluxation and multiple pelvic muscle strains. On Tuesday, after the Grizzlies’ 121-116 loss against the Dallas Mavericks, Morant told reporters that he has come to the conclusion that his more daring dunk attempts are too risky.
