What’s the buzz on Twitter?
James Boyd @RomeovilleKidTerry Taylor is beast. He’s got 9 points and 2 offensive rebounds in 5 minutes. #Pacers still getting dominated, though. They trail the Ja Morant-less Grizzlies 36-21. – 8:26 PM Ja Morant @JaMorant

Really not great for Ja Morant to be out at least two weeks at this time of year. Always best to get things right, but this really rough timing. – 6:25 PM Shams Charania @ShamsCharania
Grizzlies star Ja Morant will be re-evaluated in two weeks due to tweaked knee, coach Taylor Jenkins says. – 6:23 PM Damichael Cole @DamichaelC
Ja Morant will be re-evaluated in two weeks, Taylor Jenkins says. Tweaked his knee in Atlanta. – 6:22 PM Drew Hill @DrewHill_DM
With Ja Morant: The team is still offloading him. The plan is to reevaluate him in two weeks.
He is rehabbing and is expected to be back by the the playoffs. – 6:21 PM Ja Morant @JaMorant

From last night: The Nets got schooled in chemistry class, when a Ja Morant-less Grizzlies team ran up the score. Talent alone won’t get the job done in Brooklyn. For @NYDNSports: trib.al/ZsXyEfI – 11:45 AM NBA Math @NBA_Math

COLUMN: Behind the scenes of a Memphis Grizzlies win over KD, Kyrie & Brooklyn the nation needed to see. Maybe now the false narrative Memphis might be better without Ja Morant can stop. Maybe now everyone realizes these Grizzlies are just really good.

“togetherness…”
-The word Coach Jenkins used to describe how and why this team has been successful w/out their star Ja Morant – 10:25 PM Chris Mannix @SIChrisMannix
Memphis being 15-2 without Ja Morant is one of the most bizarre statistics you will see this season. Maybe ever. – 10:23 PM Ja Morant @JaMorant
y’all just witnessed the coach of the year, defensive player of the year & most improved player tonight 🔥 – 10:19 PM Anthony Puccio @APOOCH
Grizzlies fight off Kyrie’s 43 and KD’s 35 and improve to 15-2 without Ja Morant. Look no further than the 52-11 advantage from the bench.
Memphis is dangerous. Nets have things to figure out with 9 games left. – 10:14 PM Drew Hill @DrewHill_DM
What a statement win by the Grizzlies that was without Ja Morant.
Consider it a parting gift, ESPN. You have plenty to talk about tomorrow. – 10:12 PM Mark Giannotto @mgiannotto
The 50th Grizzlies win might be the most reassuring of them all. Amazing 4Q performances by Desmond Bane, Brandon Clarke and Jaren Jackson Jr. No Ja Morant, KD and Kyrie combine for 78 points, no problem. – 10:03 PM Geoff Calkins @geoff_calkins
Grizz win 132-120. Come to Memphis for Ja Morant get a bunch of hoopers. – 10:03 PM Duane Rankin @DuaneRankin
Grizzlies up 76-62 on #Nets at halftime without Ja Morant.
Irving 22, Durant 19.
Former #Suns guard D’Anthony Melton 20 off bench for Griz.
Dillon Brooks 16.
#Suns win w/Grizzlies loss gives Phoenix homecourt advantage throughout playoffs.
Down 7 with 5:44 left in half. – 8:55 PM Brian Lewis @NYPost_Lewis
The #Grizzlies are 14-2 without Ja Morant. This team is athletic, physical and has all kinds of attitude. #Nets down 76-62 at the break. – 8:55 PM Mark Giannotto @mgiannotto
Bet they talk about DeAnthony Melton’s Ja Morant impression. pic.twitter.com/IJSJmftnNH – 8:46 PM Barbara Barker @meanbarb
Ugly. Ugly. Memphis, without Ja Morant, scores 76 points on Nets in first half. – 8:45 PM Kristian Winfield @Krisplashed
Ja Morant is talking shit to KD from the bench. – 8:44 PM Damichael Cole @DamichaelC
The Grizzlies are one of the deepest teams in the NBA. Don’t be too surprised. This is what they’ve been doing when guys were in and out of COVID protocols, Ja Morant was out and when Dillon Brooks was out. That No. 2 seed ain’t a fluke. – 8:29 PM Mark Giannotto @mgiannotto
Brooklyn, thus far, can’t stop the Ja Morant-less Memphis Grizzlies. – 8:21 PM Kristian Winfield @Krisplashed
Sensational job by Grizzlies GM Zach Kleiman and head coach Taylor Jenkins. Memphis leads, 40-32, after the first quarter, and they’re playing without Ja Morant. This roster just makes sense. 3 and D wings, versatile guards, tough bigs. This team is legit. – 8:13 PM Kristian Winfield @Krisplashed
De’Anthony Melton’s been hitting contested 3s, but Kyrie Irving just hit a ridiculous and-one layup to make this a 30-26 game led by the Grizzlies.
Memphis is showing what chemistry and continuity looks like, off to a strong start w/o All-Star guard Ja Morant. – 8:03 PM Damichael Cole @DamichaelC
No Nike Tech for Ja Morant today… that man dripped out in Louie V🔥🔥 – 7:45 PM Drew Hill @DrewHill_DM
Looks like Ja Morant has a new hairstyle. – 7:42 PM Marc J. Spears @MarcJSpears
Much more to @Ja Morant than just scoring ability and athleticism. Pay attention to the basketball IQ of the #Grizzlies star. Story in @andscape: bit.ly/3nv2YPc – 7:39 PM Drew Hill @DrewHill_DM
