Ja Morant on his 1.6M+ All-Star votes: He’s grateful for his fans wanting to see him in the All-Star, and was just at a loss for words for it.
“Thank y’all, love y’all.” He appreciates thoses that like him and root for him.

On one hand, I want to give Grayson Allen a fair shot.
On the other hand, he has two more technical fouls in this summer league than Mike Conley does in his entire NBA career.
Day-dreaming about Ja Morant or Tyus Jones driving downhill and having either Desmond Bane, Ziaire Williams, or Jake LaRavia to kick out to for open 3’s
“Whoop that Trick” is now playing.
As the Grizzlies are playing the NBA’s best team at full strength.
While Memphis is sitting 4 of their starters and backup point guard.
This is golden
The Memphis Grizzlies announced plans to use two classic uniforms - a turquoise set celebrating the franchise’s 25th anniversary in 2019-2020 and a black one celebrating 20 years in Memphis for the 2020-2021 season. A newly designed alternate court will be used in both seasons.

Congrats

Ja Morant on the Minnesota fans and the environment - "I'm disrespectful just like they're disrespectful...that was the goal...have their fans go home mad..."

JAREN JACKSON JR.
THE UNICORN.
THE BLOCK PANTHER.
THEEEEEEE. DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR.
Jaren Jackson joins an accomplished list of defenders and makes history in the process:
Zach Randolph said Marc Gasol really surprised him, and it brought memories back, and he’s glad his “big little brother” was here. Said it messed him up
People were concerned about Chet, because of how he'd fare against Embiid and Jokic, but it's disrespectful for the naysayers to not include Kenny Lofton in that group
Ja Morant will likely not play Monday night — will use shootaround, play groups to evaluate where he’s at — they’ll reevaluate Wednesday.
They’re having honest conversations about what’s transpired — growth opportunity, wakeup calls, and an ongoing process.
Ja is “chomping at
