Listen to Grizzlies writers discuss the reintegration of Ja Morant
On this episode of The Daily Memphian’s Memphis Grizzlies Podcast, beat writer Drew Hill and columnist Chris Herrington discuss the latest in the return of star player Ja Morant.
Morant scored 16 points in the Grizzlies’ loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Monday night. After the game, he said that he was hurt by the comments from some Memphis fans that told him to “sit back down.”

Hill gives his theory on why Morant is upset and Herrington shares his opinion about the point guard’s frustration.
Can a win at Golden State or Phoenix bring Morant out of his somber spell? Just how long will it take to reintegrate their star?
As trade season quickly approaches, Hill and Herrington also discuss their expectations for the Grizzlies’ front office as they decide the future of players on expiring deals, like Kyle Anderson and Tyus Jones. Should Memphis speed up its building process?
