Ja Morant’s unreal Alley-Oop pass in Grizzlies-Bucks goes viral

Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant has been dealing with soreness in his right thigh that kept him out of Monday’s game against the Chicago Bulls. Morant was again listed as questionable on the injury report for Wednesday’s game against the Brooklyn Nets, but ended up playing.

Morant, who is not listed on the injury report for Thursday’s game against the Milwaukee Bucks, which is the second night of a back-to-back for Memphis, appears to feel healthy. Ending the first half with a near triple-double, Morant entered 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 has gone viral on social media, with the NBA and several other major accounts sharing it.

Via NBA: “Ja throws a perfect lob while sitting ”

SportsCenter was among the major sports accounts that shared Morant’s unreal pass.

Morant has been somewhat limited to start the season as the Grizzlies attempt to keep him healthy over the course of the season. The star point guard played in just 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.

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