NBA is not out to get Ja Morant , no matter how much he tries to make himself the victim of his own reputation.

The NBA is the league that has to deal with calls from some critics about its workforce being “too Black,” and thus concerned with scaring off an eye-rolling customer base.

It's not the biggest deal in the world, it's not as if Morant was actually carrying a weapon on the floor, but the mere fact we're at this place feels unnecessary.

The Grizzlies interim coach Tuomas Iisalo refrained from giving a full-throated endorsement of his star, saying, “I already gave that answer in Miami ,” when asked about harnessing all that comes with him.

The Grizzlies are far closer to the end than anyone is willing to admit, and one would assume it’ll be addressed in the coming months .
