The ointed star has been over five years and Morant has been paid and sold. He always proves that he deserves it when he is on the court.
However, the issue is still in court. In his “coming comeback” season, Morant still managed to show up in 50 regular season games in 2024-25, yet to surpass his 67 games in his rookie season. He averaged only 51 games per season in his NBA career, due to the harsh fouls of the Thunder Luguentz Dort In Game 3 of the first round series, he missed the fourth knockout round and the second half of the third game.
In a way, it was luck – Morant's hip must be something he couldn't go at the most critical moment. However, this is a continuation of the pattern. Such a young person should still not have a long history of injury, and his acting style is not conducive to longevity.
On the other hand, despite their relative success over the past decade, the Grizzlies are still a small market team relative to the rest of the NBA, which is not easy for a superstar like him to be talented. Given Morant’s tough past few seasons, the Grizzlies will also risk trading when their value is low and may alienate their local fan base, which is very thankful to Morant, Warts and All. However, the team decides to enter any direction they have to commit to 100% getting into. Cakes are not for eating and eating.
