It appears that the Ja Morant and Memphis Grizzlies relationship has run its course. The Grizzlies are not having the best of seasons at the moment. They are currently 10th in the Western Conference standings with a 17-22 record and are at risk of dropping out of the play-in spots, as they are just 0.5 games ahead of the in-form Los Angeles Clippers.
In the midst of an international trip, the Grizzlies are taking on the Orlando Magic in Berlin and London this week, which will be counted as regular-season games. It is a three-year slate of NBA games in Europe. Future games will be played in Manchester and Paris in 2027 and in Berlin and Paris in 2028.
The rise and fall of Ja Morant with the Grizzlies was unexpected. Drafted as the number two pick in the 2019 NBA draft, the 26-year-old has earned two All-Star selections, was awarded the Rookie of the Year in 2020 and won the Most Improved Player award in 2022. His explosiveness and athleticism made him a fan-favorite and many believed that he is the future face of the league.
But Morant has only himself to blame for his downfall, with several on and off the court struggles. While the injuries are not on him, his off-the-court activities have hurt his reputation significantly. A couple of months ago, he was caught in a heated exchange with Klay Thompson, despite not taking to court on that day.
After the trade of Desmond Bane in the offseason, there have been reports that the Grizzlies may move on from Morant as well. Last week, NBA reporter Shams Charania reported that the Grizzlies are open to offers for Morant.
It looks like the relationship between the player and organization has gotten worse. During a team shoot around in Berlin ahead of Memphis’ international matchup, Morant was seen in a heated on-court argument with teammate Vince Williams Jr. The altercation was quick to go viral across social media.
Morant was heard saying – “I don’t f*** with y’all.”
Ja: “I don’t f*ck with y’all, I’m with whatever”

Vince: “Let’s go to the back”
Ja: “Why? I’m right here”
Vince: “Let’s go to the back”
Ja: “You’ve been here for 5 minutes… You’re not like that”

The actual reason for the fight remains unknown, but it is clear that Morant is not in it with the club anymore. The guard has been ruled out for the Thursday matchup in Berlin.

Dwyane Wade weighed in on Ja Morant’s situation
Not so long ago, Morant was seen as the face of the Grizzlies and a future face of the NBA. But fast-forward to today, unfortunately, the young star is in the trade market and does not have a high trade value at present. It is a huge fall from grace for the superstar.

Miami Heat legend and former NBA Champion Dwyane Wade had a few words to share about Morant’s current situation.
No matter what’s going on behind the scenes and in front of the cameras, I still want to see you put on a show, I still want you to be that player, when you talk about that joy, we want to see that and he doesn’t have that right now. That’s unfortunate because this guy has so much talent. I definitely know that them calls have been ringing. We gonna follow it for sure.

Considering his age and potential, the Grizzlies will find suitors for him. There are rumors that the Heat and the Milwaukee Bucks are interested in acquiring his services. The future remains to be seen.
