Nears triple-double in loss Morant went for 25 points (10-18 FG, 0-2 3PT, 5-6 FT), nine rebounds and nine assists in Sunday's loss to the Spurs.

Posts 22 points, 11 dimes Morant racked up 22 points (7-22 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 7-7 FT), 11 assists, five rebounds and one steal in 41 minutes during Friday's 140-135 overtime loss to the Trail Blazers.

Impact Morant struggled from the field but turned in an impressive stat line, logging a double-double and helping out on the glass as well. He was expected to play a bit more than he did during the regular season, and that came to fruition even prior to the overtime session. Morant will likely receive ample minutes once again during Sunday's matchup versus the Spurs.

Bigger workload likely on tap Coach Taylor Jenkins shared that the team anticipates Morant "hopefully playing a little bit more than he did during the regular season," Drew Hill of the Daily Memphian reports.

Impact With Tyus Jones (knee) out for a least a week, it appears Morant will be called upon to play more than the 30.0 minutes per game he did before the hiatus. In the six contests that Morant saw at least 35 minutes, he averaged 21.7 points, 8.2 assists and 4.5 rebounds, plus he put up one double-double and one triple-double.
