Ja Morant has been leading the Memphis Grizzlies to new heights this season, and unsurprisingly earned the second All-Star selection of his career.

Ja Morant and the Memphis Grizzlies have transitioned from one of the most highly-touted young teams in the league to a real menace in the West.

The Memphis Grizzlies did […]

Memphis Grizzlies guard Danny Green is pinning the blame on fan voting for Ja Morant’s snub as an All-Star starter. Morant still made it to the All-Star Game roster as a reserve out West, but Green thinks it’s quite the disrespect considering that the Grizzlies are second in the West. It’s definitely bizarre that the […]
