Ja Morant and Derrick Rose

Memphis Grizzlies‘ star point guard, Ja Morant, has remained relatively quiet on social media following the NBA’s announcement of his 25-game suspension in June. The suspension was imposed due to an incident where Morant was seen holding a gun on an Instagram live stream. However, despite this setback, Morant has been focusing on his mental health and decision-making during the offseason as he aims to return stronger than ever.

With the recent addition of veteran guard Derrick Rose to the Grizzlies’ roster, Ja Morant’s determination to excel in the upcoming season has only grown stronger. Isaiah Thomas, another well-known former guard, expressed his confidence in Morant’s abilities, tweeting that the young star would have his best season yet, even suggesting a potential MVP-caliber performance.

Shortly after reports surfaced about the Grizzlies signing Rose, Morant shared a tweet with a rose emoji, further highlighting his excitement and anticipation for their partnership.

NBA fans on Twitter criticized Morant’s response to Isaiah Thomas’s tweet, suggesting that he needs a “baby sitter” to act right. The comment reflects a sentiment that Morant’s response was inappropriate or immature given the circumstances.

Another user wrote, “He tries so hard to be ‘hood’ to me. It seems so forced.” This comment suggests that some fans view Morant’s expressions of his cultural background or identity as inauthentic or exaggerated.

With the addition of Derrick Rose and his veteran experience, the Grizzlies have bolstered their roster, providing Morant with an opportunity to learn from an accomplished player. As the offseason progresses, it remains to be seen how Morant’s partnership with Rose will translate into on-court success following his completion of the suspension.
