NBA insider Shams Charania discussed whether or not Ja Morant could get traded after the Grizzlies suspended him for one game.
Ja Morant is set to make his return for the Memphis Grizzlies against the Los Angeles Lakers in tonight's NBA Cup matchup. Despite several key teammates being sidelined, Morant's presence is expected to inject much-needed energy and offensive firepower.
Selected as the second overall pick in the 2019 NBA draft, Ja Morant quickly asserted his dominance in the league, earning the Rookie of the Year award. However, the guard has struggled with his health in the last two seasons, playing 59 games during that span. His off-court issues have also hindered his progress, further stalling his development.
