NEW ORLEANS — Jaren Jackson Jr. scored 33 points, Ja Morant scored 25 before leaving with what appeared to be a minor right shoulder injury, and the Memphis Grizzlies beat the slumping New Orleans Pelicans 132-124. Morant was knocked from the game when he was flattened by Pelicans center Daniel Theis' hard but legal screen. Morant went to the locker room to be examined but returned to the bench and cheered on his team. Trey Murphy III scored 35 points and CJ McCollum 32 for the Pelicans, who have lost nine straight and 18 of 19.
