The White Mamba believes that the Grizzlies' centerpiece has shown a weak mentality in the face of adversity in recent years – a far cry from how his fellow young star, Cade Cunningham, dealt with his own low point when the Detroit Pistons suffered a losing streak in 2023.

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant shared a picture of seven upcoming colorways of the Nike Ja 3 basketball shoe.

Let’s rank potential Ja Morant trade suitors. Ja Morant’s attitude is becoming a problem for the Memphis Grizzlies once again, and this time there’s more trade speculation around the star point guard than ever before.

However, trading Zion is not much of an option because there is no market for him, something Tim Bontemps and Brian Windhorst got into at ESPN. From Windhorst: Stated simply, even with his unusual non-guaranteed contract over the next two years that offers the franchise protection, Williamson’s trade value isn’t super high.

Your son don’t wanna be here,” Kevin Durant told Tee Morant, father of Grizzlies star Ja Morant. “We know it’s your last weekend. Enjoy your time.”

The Grizzlies' next opponent, the Houston Rockets, need a point guard after losing Fred Van Vleet to a torn ACL in the preseason but, per a team source, are unlikely to pursue Ja Morant. That’s just a small sample size of what might be out there, and not out there, if the Morant sweepstakes ever actually begin. New York Times | Nov. 5, 2025
