Good news for Grizzliessince despite his suspension for the first 25 matches of the season, Ja Morant will have the opportunity to train and travel with the rest of the team.
A few days ago, he did not yet have the guarantee, but that is what was indicated Zach Kleimanthe GM of Memphisduring the media day of the franchise. “ It’s great for Ja and for our group “, he reacted like this this Monday.
We remember that if Ja Morant received such a sanction, it is because he was filmed again with a firearm in his hand, once his team was on vacation. Only… two months after having already been, which earned him an 8-match suspension during last season.
To compensate for the absence of the All-Star leader (26.2 points, 8.1 assists, 5.9 rebounds, 1.1 interception), the leaders of the Grizzlies in any case brought Marcus Smart and Derrick Rose to Tennessee.
