Ja Morant Reaffirms Commitment to the Grizzlies<\/h2>\n\nThe stellar Memphis Grizzlies player, Ja Morant, has made it clear that his wish is to continue defending the team’s colors. These statements came after an outstanding performance in the victory over the Orlando Magic.\n\nIn Sunday’s game, where the Grizzlies won 126-109, the two-time All-Star responded to recent speculation about possible trades.\n\n\n

I have a logo on my back, that should tell you exactly where I want to be.<\/p>Ja Morant<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nMorant, who returned to the court after a six-game absence due to a right calf injury, scored 24 points and 13 assists.\n\nThe point guard expressed his loyalty to the team. “If anyone knows me, they know I am a very loyal person,” he stated.\n\nMorant’s return provided an immediate boost to a team that urgently needed it. This victory was only the third in the last 10 games.\n\nAfter missing the first match of the European double-header, Morant thanked the fans for their support in London.\n\n\n

Being able to play basketball is very therapeutic for me. I know what I am capable of on the court and I was able to show it tonight.<\/p>Ja Morant<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nThe player also highlighted the importance of representing Memphis. “It was very important, going out and representing Memphis is what it’s all about,” he added.\n\nThe Grizzlies built a 33-point lead in the first half and this time they managed to hold on to it to secure the victory. In the Berlin game, they had squandered a 20-point lead.\n\n\n

That’s credit to the coach for putting us in the best possible positions and then me being Ja and ending up making the right play, whether it’s passing or scoring. We got into a great rhythm from the start, we got a big lead, after that it’s just managing.<\/p>Ja Morant<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nMorant, 26 years old, earns around $39.4 million this season and is in the third year of a five-year, $197.2 million contract.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
