Ja Morant News: Drops 35 points against Pels

Morant generated 35 points (13-20 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 7-8 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one steal over 29 minutes in Wednesday's 128-122 win over New Orleans.

Morant started the 2025-26 season on a high note, delivering a game-high 35 points while shooting 65 percent from the field. The 26-year-old guard scored 35 or more points in just three of his 50 regular-season appearances last season, and he attempted 22 or more field goals in each of those contests. Morant looks to be completely over the ankle injury he suffered in early October.
