Ja Morant began Friday’s post-shootaround media availability the way he usually does the morning of a big game — by downplaying the magnitude of it. Friday’s game in New Orleans wasn’t Morant versus Zion Williamson, but the Grizzlies against the Pelicans. “Me personally, I go in every game the same way,” Morant said. “Another game to get better, another game to get out with my teammates and play. Another game to prove ourselves. We go in every game the same way and try to do what we can to come out with a win.”
