Ja Morant said, “Bron, … I actually got Bron and AD’s jersey after the same game. That was pretty much a big-time moment for me. Obviously, my rookie year, playing against the top guys was pretty much like a starstruck moment like, ‘Wow.’ I was just watching him on TV a couple of years ago, even last year when I was at Murray watching ’em play. And now I’m actually lacing it up and going back and forth with ’em.”

Morant even mentioned that he got jerseys from the respective superstars after the game ended. It would indeed have been a fan moment for the young rookie from the Grizzlies. Morant is already making a name for himself and would also have such moments shortly again. People are even talking about him being the face of the NBA in the coming time, with the heroics the young player has shown until now in his career.

The Memphis Grizzlies tasted success last season, and it was possible only because they had one of the best bench players in the NBA. And this time as well, they will again bank on them on their way to a championship win. With the likes of Ja Morant, Desmond Bane, and Jaren Jackson Jr. in the starting line-up, the Grizzlies had the support of De’Anthony Melton and Kyle Anderson as one of the essential bench duos.

Melton led the Grizzlies in steals, averaging 1.4 steals per game, and Anderson was fourth, averaging 1.1 steals per game. Other than this duo, few players like Jake LaRavia, David Roddy, Brandon Clarke, Ziaire Williams, and Tyus Jones will play a vital role in the Memphis campaign for the upcoming season. The Memphis Grizzlies will play against the New York Knicks on their opening night of the NBA 2022-2023 season on 20th Oct.
