Morant expressed that the injuries have affected his playing style and mental approach, but remains determined to find ways to contribute effectively to his team's success.
A little bit of Ja, the old Ja. It was nice to see some baskets go down. Obviously, it’s kind of what I’m used to.
This season has been frustrating despite our 39-24 record. I haven’t felt like myself at all; injuries have impacted my efficiency.
Fouls, getting hurt, that plays a lot. Makes you move different, makes you think different. But I'm out there, so just try to find a way.
I missed eight games this season due to injuries, including an AC joint sprain after a hard screen. It’s been tough.
