Rumors

Ja Morant's return to the starting lineup was met with a strong ovation from the FedExForum crowd before Wednesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Memphis Grizzlies' star was back, and his return came right on time. At least it felt that way, with Jaren Jackson Jr. being out with an ankle injury. But after the Grizzlies lost 120-103 to the Thunder, Morant admitted that he may have sped up his return. "Terrible," Morant said on returning against the Thunder. "I should have been out. But I was out there. Regardless of out, in — there's going to be something said."

After a high scoring first quarter, the Grizzlies defense clamped down in the second quarter to create breathing room. That was all Memphis needed in a 135-119 Friday win against the Nets inside FedExForum.

Ja Morant's memory is precise when it comes to the Los Angeles Lakers. He remembers the feeling of being put out by the Lakers in the 2023 playoffs, and he remembers standing on the bench injured last season while LeBron James through down a windmill dunk. All of that factored into the edge Morant played with in the Grizzlies' 131-114 victory on Wednesday night at FedExForum. "I don't like them," Morant said of the Lakers. Morant pulled out the "too little" gesture after scoring over Gabe Vincent in the second quarter. Seconds later, James returned the favor after using his strength to knock Morant to the floor and score over the smaller guard.
