Was great to see @ESPNNBA crew and @Jalen Rose taking in @Memphis Grizzlies practice today. Jalen had some cool moments with @Ja Morant and Taylor Jenkins. (photo credit to @grindcitymedia guru @Devin_Walker2) pic.twitter.com/5RlxP5YTch – 4:51 PM

Ja Morant was in great spirits, but a limited participant in Tuesday’s @Memphis Grizzlies practice ahead Wednesday’s nationally-televised game vs Nets. Jenkins said Ja’s status will be updated after another 24 hrs of treatment/rest. He’s missed 2 of last 3 games with back & knee soreness. pic.twitter.com/urOptiaYTw – 4:42 PM

Kevin Durant and Ja Morant have been complimentary of each other for quite some time. On Monday, Durant shared some more love. dailymemphian.com/section/sports… – 12:32 PM

The Grizzlies are 14-2 without Ja Morant this year. Memphis isn’t better without Ja. But they’re able to thrive when he is out because of the man who has filled in for him for 3 years now.

“When you look at the collection of guys they have all hard nose guys with chips on their shoulders and they’re well-coached then you got a future Hall-of-Famer at the head of the snake, you know he just makes everybody better.”
-KD thinks Ja Morant is Springfield material.

“When he’s playing I see like 2, 3, 4 different HOFers in his game. From Iverson, to he might make a Jordan-like layup, or he might run down the court like a Westbrook or a D-Rose….I don’t want to gas him up too much since we playing against him.”

Kevin Durant said Ja Morant is a combination of a ton of players. MJ, AI, Westbrook, D-Rose, can keep going. – 10:20 PM

Suns since Chris Paul went out: 10-4
Grizzlies without Ja Morant: 14-2
Warriors without Stephen Curry: 2-7
They have 11 games to rectify (and maybe retain the 3-seed), but have given no indication they can
