Ja Morant is back doing Ja Morant things. He connected on one of his signature ferocious slam dunks, this time over the 7' 3" phenom Victor Wembanyama. However, the dunk went down after the whistle and didn't actually count.
San Antonio Spurs superstar Victor Wembanyama was the recipient of the vicious one-handed dunk late in the fourth quarter against the Memphis Grizzlies and, for two seconds, got Malik Beasley and Jakob Poeltl off the hook after they were posterized previously by Morant.
Wembanyama had 13 points and 12 rebounds for San Antonio when all was said and done. While the dunk didn’t count on the scoreboard, it’s sure to remain a memorable one for basketball fans.

Yes, Ja Morant dunked all over Hector Banana-Bread -- er, Victor Wembanyama after the whistle on Wednesday night in the Memphis Grizzlies' win over the San Antonio Spurs. But no matter. This was sick.
But neither Morant nor Wembanyama stopped. Morant kept charging right for the rim, where he ran into the 7-foot-3 star. Expertly, Morant rose up and threw down a wild one-handed dunk over an outstretched Wembanyama, which sent the Grizzlies bench into a tailspin.
