The Pelicans have been without Herb Jones (right ankle sprain) and backup point guard Jose Alvarado (left oblique strain) for the past eight games. Jones has missed 15 of the last 16 games but is questionable on New Orleans' injury report. Alvarado is out.
Dillon Brooks is embracing being a Suns player, if this latest Devin Booker praise is any indication of his allegiance.
Morant went 7-13 from the field, draining all but one of his four three-pointers. He accounted for 24 points, 13 assists, and five rebounds. It was the type of performance that Grizzlies fans used to see daily, and his quotes that followed were promising for those who want to see Morant stick around in Tennessee.
Ja Morant's stance about his future could be doing a huge favor for the New Orleans Pelicans.
The Memphis Grizzlies continue to shop Ja Morant ahead of the trade deadline with the hopes of adding new talent and draft picks to set up a brighter future. One team rumored to have interest in Morant and almost every other talented player on the trade block is the Milwaukee Bucks.
Ja Morant’s downfall has been sad but inevitable, a result of his own actions. Despite it being public knowledge that he is now on the Memphis Grizzlies’ trade block, very few teams appear to be openly interested in him.
