During game three of the Eastern Conference Finals, Jimmy Butler was on the receiving end of what could be perceived as a “dirty play” when Payton Pritchard attempted to foul Butler by grabbing at his knee/quad, ultimately tripping Jimmy, prompting the referee's whistle. A couple of weeks before the Butler-Pritchard play, there was a similar incident during the Golden State Warriors-Memphis Grizzlies series. Ja Morant went down with a knee injury after having his leg grabbed by Jordan Poole.
That, and the fact that he is one of the big reasons the Memphis Grizzlies were able to thrive during the 25 games Ja Morant missed. Trip could be a good example of a player whose narrative doesn’t always fit the facts, and recency bias could be overpowering. Jaren is always in foul trouble” — Removing last year where he only played 11 games, Jaren set a career low of games in which he fouled out with 3.
If Memphis Grizzlies were healthy, would they have won the 2022 NBA Finals? It's a question Ja Morant and everyone else seems to be asking.
