Grizzlies get a preseason victory:
– Edey gets the start
– Ja Morant dazzles, then exits
– Time to put Scotty on the main roster?
– Yep, that offense looked different.

Taylor Jenkins said Ja Morant left the Grizzlies’ win due to a “minor little tweak” in his ankle. He will be evaluated, but early indications are it is not a significant concern. – 10:37 PM

Grizzlies win, 121-116.
Brandon Clarke leads all Memphis scorers with 17. They got in transition quite a bit.
But everyone wants to know the latest on Ja Morant. – 10:28 PM

Ja Morant is back on the court, somewhat surprisingly.
That ankle roll must have been very minor. – 9:05 PM

Ja Morant rolls an ankle seconds after soaring for a block and nearly hit his head on the backboard.
Hes coming out. And that should be it for him today, no need to push it. – 8:52 PM

The Grizz throw Yuki Kawamura out there for the rookie dance contest. He stole the show. Ja Morant even gets out there and joins him. pic.x.com/RARRvmWHeI – 2:00 PM

More on this storyline
With Ja Morant on your team, what do you think the potential is of their pick-and-roll tandem together? Marcus Smart: “Oh, it’s going to be deadly, man. It’s just going to open up things even more for us, especially for Ja. We all know what Ja can do with a little bit of space, so just imagine what he can do with a lot of space cleared out by a big like Zach.” -via SportsKeeda / October 9, 2024
In addressing the same question about Morant, Memphis coach Taylor Jenkins said, “It’s easy to say stuff like, ‘the sky’s the limit,’ ‘hall of famer,’ ‘champion.’ I hope I can wish that stuff into existence.” “I think he’s shown tons of growth in the summer, even last year,” Jenkins said. “But I think he can be one of the greats that’s played this game because of how much he loves it and how much he invests in the craft.” -via New York Times / October 8, 2024
