Jaren Jackson Jr. scored 33 points, Ja Morant scored 25 before leaving with what appeared to be a minor right shoulder injury, and the Memphis Grizzlies beat the slumping New Orleans Pelicans 132-124.

During the second half, superstar point guard Ja Morant went to the locker room with an injury. Morant had 25 points, two rebounds, seven assists and one steal while shooting 8/11 from the field and 3/4 from the three-point range in his first 25 minutes of playing time.

Memphis Grizzlies forward Santi Aldama left the game in the first quarter and is unlikely to return against the Raptors on Thursday night.
