Victor Wembanyama may be the single most imposing rim protector in NBA history. He's only in his second season, but his combination of elite athleticism for his size, stellar shot-blocking instincts and absurd eight-foot wingspan makes him a nearly impenetrable obstacle for drivers at the basket.

Ja Morant is back doing Ja Morant things. He connected on one of his signature ferocious slam dunks, this time over the 7' 3" phenom Victor Wembanyama. However, the dunk went down after the whistle and didn't actually count.

San Antonio Spurs superstar Victor Wembanyama was the recipient of the vicious one-handed dunk late in the fourth quarter against the Memphis Grizzlies and, for two seconds, got Malik Beasley and Jakob Poeltl off the hook after they were posterized previously by Morant.

Wembanyama had 13 points and 12 rebounds for San Antonio when all was said and done. While the dunk didn’t count on the scoreboard, it’s sure to remain a memorable one for basketball fans.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant went viral for his wild poster dunk on San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama after the whistle.

Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant didn't care that he dunked on Victor Wembanyama after being asked about it postgame.

Ja Morant’s availability is uncertain for the Memphis Grizzlies' upcoming game against the San Antonio Spurs due to right foot soreness. His presence is crucial for the team's performance, particularly against a strong Spurs side led by Victor Wembanyama.

Ja Morant, Jaren Jackson Jr., Zach Edey, and the Grizzlies could all but assure a top-six seed with this January schedule.

The Spurs will be in front of their home fans on Friday, but a look at the spread shows they might need that home-court advantage. They will host the Memphis Grizzlies at 9:30 p.m. ET at Frost Bank Center.
