The Grizzlies were led by star point guard Ja Morant, who posted a strong double-double with 21 points and 12 assists, shooting an efficient 9-13 from the field. Morant posted a team-high +22, being a true difference-maker in the competitive divisional matchup.

Ja Morant may have had the dunk of the year after posterizing Victor Wembanyama, but the Grizzlies star's epic highlight did not count.

The Grizzlies went on to win the game 129-115, with Morant and Desmond Bane leading Memphis, scoring 21 points apiece. Meanwhile, Wembanyama had 13 points, 12 rebounds, and 8 blocks in the game as he continues his run towards the Defensive Player of the Year award.

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.

The Memphis Grizzlies and San Antonio Spurs are facing off for the first time this NBA season. Follow along for live updates.

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.
