What’s the buzz on Twitter?
Drew Hill @DrewHill_DMToday is Ja Morant Day in Sumter, South Carolina.
ICYMI, my story about why he means so much to his hometown.
“His story makes all of us work harder,” Crestwood basketball player Justin Rembert said. “It inspires us. He’s a role model to all of us.” dailymemphian.com/subscriber/sec… – 10:30 AM Bryan Kalbrosky @BryanKalbrosky
I had a fantastic conversation with @Julius Erving. Dr. J and I talked about a lot of great stuff, but I was particularly fascinated by his high praise for @Ja Morant.

“How do you think he looked?” Desmond Bane asked.
The Grizzlies sure made it sound like Ja Morant is playing this weekend, and it comes with great timing after dropping two straight.
“He’s our motor,” Brandon Clarke said. dailymemphian.com/section/sports… – 9:21 AM Ja Morant @JaMorant

Clarke has faith that the team will be fine despite the recent losing skid – he is also looking forward to the return of Ja Morant. “…Ja is one of the best players in the league…he’s just huge for us…” – 12:13 AM Meghan Triplett @Meghan_Triplett

Desmond Bane: “How do you think he looked?” – 12:01 AM Joe Mullinax @sbnGrizzlies
Bane says the team is ready to get their “guy” Ja Morant back, and when asked “how did Ja look in 5 on 5” replied “how do you think he looked?” – 12:00 AM Michael C. Wright @mikecwright
Taylor Jenkins on Ja Morant:“He’s doing great. He’s progressing really well. We’ve ramped him up over the last week or so. He’s getting close. He did 5-on-5 for the first time today. That’s really encouraging. He responded well afterward.” – 7:42 PM Meghan Triplett @Meghan_Triplett
Coach Jenkins said Ja Morant did 5v5 for the first time today. He is doing great and definitely “getting close”.
The team will be smart about his return but Jenkins did not rule out the possibility of Morant returning for one of it not both of the last two games of the season. – 7:37 PM Michael C. Wright @mikecwright
Ja Morant participated in 5-on-5 work, per T. Jenkins, and is progressing nicely. Might be able to play in one of these last games. – 7:35 PM Drew Hill @DrewHill_DM
Taylor Jenkins said Ja Morant participated in 5-on-5 and that there is a chance he could play in one of the final two games of the regular season.
He said he’s doing really well. – 7:35 PM Damichael Cole @DamichaelC
