Ja Morant dunks will always garner attention. That definitely was the case as he threw down his first dunk as a member of the Trail Blazers during their preseason clash against the London Lions on Monday afternoon.

Morant is gearing up for the eighth season of his NBA career, his first with the Blazers. He starts a new chapter of his career after seven seasons with the Memphis Grizzlies, seeing the team trade him to Portland this past offseason.
