What Ja Morant Said About His First Game Against the Grizzlies Thursday Night
Morant said he has no hard feelings toward Memphis and called Thursday’s matchup “just another basketball game” as Portland seeks a 4-0 start.
- On Thursday, Portland Trail Blazers guard Ja Morant faces the Memphis Grizzlies for the first time since his trade, stating, "I'm cool with everybody over there."
- Morant's tenure in Memphis ended following injuries, suspensions, and friction with head coach Tuomas Iisalo, leading to a June 29 trade that sent him to Portland for forwards Jerami Grant and Kris Murray.
- Portland remains undefeated at 3-0, with Morant averaging 16.3 points on 58.8 percent shooting, while Memphis enters the contest 4-0 following their own roster reset.
- "A fresh start is always good," Morant told reporters Wednesday, noting he feels less pressure now than he did in Memphis with his new supporting cast.
- The matchup at Moda Center is scheduled for 10:00 p.m. EST on Thursday, marking Morant's first reunion with his former franchise after seven seasons in Memphis.
