Ja Morant's unreal alley-oop pass to Grizzlies-Bucks goes viral


Ja Morant's unreal alley-oop pass to Grizzlies-Bucks goes viral

Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant dealt with right thigh pain that kept him out of Monday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Morant was again listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets on the injury report, but ended up playing.

Morant is not listed at all on the injury report for Thursday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks, which is Memphis' second straight night, but appears to be feeling healthy. Morant finished the first half with a near triple-double, entering halftime with 21 points, nine assists and eight rebounds.

Perhaps even more impressive than his overall line was an alley-oop pass Morant made from the seat of his pants in the second quarter.

This highlight pass from Morant went viral on social media, with the NBA and several other major accounts sharing it.

Morant was somewhat limited early in the season as the Grizzlies look to keep him healthy as the season progresses. The star point guard only played nine games last season due to a 25-game suspension and a season-ending shoulder injury. So the Grizzlies want to make sure he stays healthy all year long.

Morant, one of the NBA's most exciting players, showed why that is in the first half on Thursday.
