NBA scout delivers concerning observation on Ja Morant's recent games

After a one-game suspension, Ja Morant returned to play for the Memphis Grizzlies. In the loss to the Detroit Pistons, not much of the story had changed. Morant played 35 minutes and scored only 18 points.

After the game, the Grizzlies star was asked if he got the same level of enjoyment playing the game after the suspension. Morant blatantly answered, "No." Now, similar reports are coming about his body language.

According to an NBA scout who has observed Morant in the last few games, the Grizzlies star hasn't been playing his best game.

"He's not playing hard like he usually does. He's not getting downhill like he usually does," the NBA scout told Sports Illustrated. "He's going slower and stopping and passing out of actions. He just looks checked out."

Like many NBA fans, let's hope Ja Morant and the Grizzlies aren't headed for a divorce.
