Taylor Jenkins: Ja Morant's return to play will be an ongoing process
Drew Hill: Taylor Jenkins said his ongoing conversations with Ja Morant give him confidence he’s ready to return, but it will be an ongoing process. “It all starts with what is in between here (*points to head*) and what’s here (*points to heart*).”

El episodio del club nocturno puede costarle a Ja Morant $39 millones, que es la diferencia en lo que puede devengar en su próximo contrato si es/no es seleccionado a un cuadro ideal (All-NBA team) esta temporada. pic.twitter.com/oJYqWzVRzJ – 10:40 PM

The Grizzlies win 133-119 at home against Golden State. Another intense game between these two. Jaren Jackson Jr. led the way with 31 points. Dillon Brooks brought the theatrics (and defense).

Will Ja Morant’s recent behavior cost him an All-NBA selection?
Missing it would have major financial implications for him and the Grizzlies.

Taylor Jenkins didn’t have much to say when the Grizzlies trailed by 23 at halftime against the San Antonio Spurs. He left it up to the players, and they delivered.
“We came in at halftime, regrouped, talked about it, and just came out firing.”

Ja Morant said he’s mentally in a better place than he has been in years. He also expressed remorse for the incident in Colorado from his IG Live that led to an eight-game suspension.
Here’s what else he said in a snippet of his sit-down with Jalen Rose:

More on this storyline
Ja Morant’s publicity problems are now costing NLE Choppa, whose new song was all set to be featured in a Powerade commercial … that is, until the NBA star flashed a gun on camera. Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ Hip Hop … NLE’s newest track, “Mo Up Front,” was set to lead Ja and Powerade’s “What 50% More Means” ad campaign. The TV spot was going to highlight the NCAA’s March Madness tournament. -via TMZ.com / March 18, 2023
Despite missing out on the national exposure, we’re told the Memphis rapper is still a fan of Ja, and maintains a relationship with his hometown Grizzlies. He walked the team out onto the court for their home opener, so he’s a diehard. -via TMZ.com / March 18, 2023
Eric Pincus: FYI, I have the Ja Morant suspension at $668,639 which is 1/145th of his salary multiplied by 8 games -via Twitter @EricPincus / March 16, 2023
