CRIED: Taylor Jenkins wept over the loss of his son.
Taylor Jenkins wept over the loss of his son.
Superstar guard Ja Morant missed all but nine games during the 2023-24 season, which greatly contributed to the Memphis Grizzlies’ disappointing 27-55 record. However, his absence didn’t just impact the team’s performance; it also raised doubts about his status among the NBA’s top players. Some have even argued that he’s no longer in contention to be the face of the league’s next generation, with many pointing to Anthony Edwards of the Minnesota Timberwolves as his potential successor.
Morant’s decline in prominence has been a topic of discussion, especially as Edwards shines in the playoffs, averaging impressive statistics and leading his team to the semifinals for the first time in two decades. While Edwards’ emergence is noteworthy, suggesting that he has overtaken Morant as the face of the league might be influenced by recent events rather than a fair assessment of their respective careers.
Morant’s impact on the Grizzlies just two seasons ago was substantial, leading them to a high seed in the playoffs and delivering standout performances night after night. He earned accolades such as the Most Improved Player award, an All-NBA selection, and was a contender for the MVP award. Despite his achievements, his current situation has led some fans to believe that he’s been overshadowed by Edwards.
