Ja Morant is facing a challenging season, marked as his worst since his sophomore year, primarily due to injuries and evolving defensive strategies from opposing teams. As Morant's style of play begins to catch up with him, there are growing concerns about his performance, particularly his three-point shooting, which has not improved. Former NBA star Lou Williams suggests that adapting his game by incorporating mid-range and three-point shots could be essential for Morant's success moving forward.

The mental toll is evident as Morant's demeanor during postgame interviews has shifted, reflecting the challenges he is navigating. In the midst of these struggles, it's clear to both fans and analysts that Morant must make adjustments to reclaim his elite status in the league.
