Parker’s reaction comes in light of Ja Morant’s earlier comments this season, where he vowed to limit his in-game dunks to avoid injuries and expressed frustration over not getting foul calls.

"I'm not trying to dunk at all. Y'all think I'm lying. I'm dead serious," Ja Morant said after Grizzlies' 121-116 loss against the Dallas Mavericks on Dec. 3.

"Sometimes I get knocked out the air and (a foul) don't get called, and now I'm out longer than what I'm supposed to be."

When asked about his dunk over Victor Wembanyama after the game, Ja Morant downplayed the moment, brushing it off as just another dunk in his repertoire.

"It was another person at the rim. I dunked on plenty people, bro. He don’t get no pass either. If you at the rim, I’m going to try you if it’s that situation. It’s me."

As for his overall performance against the Spurs, Morant showcased his all-around brilliance, finishing with 21 points, four rebounds, 12 assists and two steals. He was remarkably efficient, shooting 9 of 13 from the field, including 1 of 2 from beyond the arc.
