WOW! Morant blasts the coaching staff! The 2019 draft's two prodigies have both fallen on hard times.

Who can stop Doncic? In his comeback game, he went 14 for 27 from the field to deliver 44 points, 12 rebounds, and 6 assists, guiding the Lakers to a 117-112 win over the Grizzlies. Before that, he put up 43 points with 12 rebounds and 9 assists, followed by 49 points, 11 rebounds, and 8 assists. The Lakers sit at 4-2, placing fifth in the West for now.

The Grizzlies’ star Morant was clearly frustrated, shooting just 3 of 14 for 8 points and 7 assists in this game. When asked about the situation after the match, he didn’t hold back, saying “If you have questions, ask the coaching staff; they don’t want me on the court.” He also made it clear that he is physically fine.

Wow, Morant’s conflict with the Grizzlies’ coaching team is now openly exposed?

So far this season, the Grizzlies hold a 3-3 record. Morant has averaged 28.5 minutes per game, contributing 20.8 points, 3.3 rebounds, 6.7 assists, 2.5 turnovers, and 1 steal per game. His shooting percentages stand at 40.6%, 15.6%, and 97.1% respectively. This player is drifting further from the highly anticipated star he was expected to be, and rumors about the Grizzlies potentially trading him have been nonstop in recent years.

Morant’s current contract runs through the summer of 2028, with a total salary over the last three seasons around $127 million. Since he is now at odds with the Grizzlies’ coaching staff, management might have to choose between trading him soon to start fresh with another team or quickly replacing the coach to stabilize the locker room.

At 26 years old, Morant still speaks his mind openly, but some things might be better kept private.

The future of the 2019 second overall pick is uncertain, and the 2019 first overall pick is also struggling.

Up to this point this season, Zion’s Pelicans have yet to win a single game, sitting at 0-5 at the bottom of the Western Conference. They are the only Western team without a victory so far...

Actually, the Pelicans had a chance to claim their first win of the season against the Clippers, but Leonard descended like a god in the final moments, breaking through triple coverage to sink a buzzer-beating jump shot.

This season Zion has slimmed down and looks healthier, but his individual performance isn’t as dazzling as during his heavier days. He currently averages 23.5 points, 6.3 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 3.3 turnovers, and 2.3 steals per game. His shooting inside the paint is a disappointing 48.4%, with no contribution from beyond the arc, and his leadership on the court remains unimproved.

Zion and Morant were once hailed as the 2019 draft’s dynamic duo and the new faces of the NBA, but now both are barely reaching even the basic All-Star level. They need to take care of themselves.
