Ja Morant says he holds no grudges as he prepares to face the Memphis Grizzlies for the first time as an opponent. Multiple outlets report that the point of his remarks is that the game is simply another basketball matchup, not a personal matter.
Ahead of a Wednesday night reunion, Morant also frames his comments as being “cool with everybody” in Memphis. Coverage also emphasizes his reflection on his time with the Grizzlies and his view that he does not carry hard feelings from the prior separation. While the outlets differ slightly in wording and emphasis, they converge on the same theme: Morant portrays the matchup as a fresh start and downplays personal animosity.
