Didn't know it at the time, but this was Ja Morant's final game as a Grizzly.
It had it all: 23 points, 12 assists, a few sensational chase down blocks, a brief squabble with Mouhamed Gueye, and a missed game-winner at the buzzer.
Entertaining to the end, that's for damn sure.
Will forever be one of the coolest memories of my career.
First game back off a 25-game suspension, down by as many as 24.
Ja put the team on his back, repeatedly cooked an elite perimeter in Herb Jones late—straight iso for the game-winning bucket at the horn.
A showman.
The Portland Trail Blazers reportedly believe that Ja Morant, Damian Lillard, Jrue Holiday, and Scoot Henderson can all coexist together, per @jwquick
“The Blazers believe the four guards can co-exist, in large part because the team believes Holiday can alleviate the redundancy by playing him off the ball as a shooting guard or small forward.”

No, THANK YOU! Truly a honor to wear the 💜💛 while trying to continuing the greatness & legacies that came before me! Hope I made a few proud during my stint. 🙏🏾🫡👑
i will never forget this day, coming off a draining loss to the warriors in game 1, ja missed game winner, came back for game 2, and dropped 47 points and the dub, that's my why @JaMorant
Ja Morant on IG:
“Stay low, stay working. Nothing confuses people more than a comeback they never saw being built.”
“I stopped chasing approval and started chasing the feeling I almost forgot.”
“They tried to bury my passion under doubt. All they did was give it fresh oxygen.”
it’s been straight ja morant slander, hypothetical trade packages and lowlights for three years and the second he gets traded it’s back “OMG JA 🤩🔥👀💯🐐” from the media.
fuck the media for how they treated ja and the way they handle the memphis market historically.
