Memphis Grizzlies' point guard, Ja Morant, has replicated a unique NBA record that stood for a remarkable 63 years.

In his first four games of the season, Morant scored 20+ points and recorded 7+ assists. The last time someone achieved such a feat was Oscar Robertson with the Cincinnati Royals in the 1960/61 season.

Ja Morant's 4 games for the @memgrizz in 2023-24:

34 pts, 8 ast, W
20 pts, 8 ast, W
30 pts, 11 ast, W
31 pts, 7 ast, W

Memphis has won all four games since Morant's return, including a recent overtime victory against the New Orleans Pelicans (116:115).

Despite the individual and team success, Memphis currently sits at 13th place in the Western Conference with 10 wins in 29 games.
