Desmond Bane on Ja Morant: 'Whenever he's ready to come back, we'll welcome him with open arms'
Mark Medina: Desmond Bane on Ja Morant: “We’re a big family. We’re wrapping our arms around him and showing our love to him.” Is he confident Ja will rectify behavior? “For sure. He’s a resilient guy, tough-minded guy. Whenever he’s ready to come back, we’ll welcome him with open arms.”

I do not know Ja Morant, or want to make his troubles into some kind of responsibility politics screed. But someone in his camp needs to reach him, & talk some real talk. Family, friends, a fellow NBA hooper, someone. In @TheAthletic: bit.ly/3mjh5J2 – 7:00 AM

I’m a huge Ja Morant fan. His game, personality, attitude. He’s likable, fan-friendly and popular with his peers. But he’s got a lot of work ahead of him. Gotta clean house from top to bottom and grow up in a hurry. – 11:42 PM

The Ja Morant situation is one of the most puzzling I’ve seen. He’s living in a fantasy world. Let’s hope he didn’t bring a gun on the plane. Because he will be gone a long time. Morant has everything and is working diligently to throw it away. – 11:27 PM

Halftime:

Kawhi Leonard, Eric Gordon and Paul George have combined for 48 points, but the Grizzlies are hanging around with efficient offense. Desmond Bane has 12 points and so does Luke Kennard (with 4 3s).
Fun second half ahead – 11:13 PM

Taylor Jenkins calls a timeout after a Terance Mann 2nd chance 3 puts LA up 26-25, shortly after a 6-0 LA run.
Only 100 seconds left in the first quarter, so I presume Jenkins wanted to get some more starters out and get Bane back in.
That means: Luke Kennard on the floor. – 10:38 PM

Mark Medina: Jaren Jackson Jr. on if he plans to offer guidance to Ja Morant: “He’s got it. I trust his judgement all the time. When he comes back, he’s going to be in the same groove. It really doesn’t end up mattering.” When asked if he was concerned Ja showed a gun on video: “Not really.” -via Twitter @MarkG_Medina / March 6, 2023
Ohm Youngmisuk: Taylor Jenkins says there’s no timeline for when Ja Morant will return. He says that he doesn’t want to go into specifics but says most important thing is Ja is seeking help. Jenkins calls it an “ongoing healing process” and Grizz will support and hold Ja accountable. -via Twitter @NotoriousOHM / March 5, 2023
Ben Golliver: Grizzlies coach Taylor Jenkins on Ja Morant’s gun video: “We take it very seriously. … Nationwide, league-wide, there’s a lot of attention on gun violence… Its a growth opportunity, a learning opportunity.” -via Twitter @BenGolliver / March 5, 2023
Drew Hill: Desmond Bane said he hated to see Danny Green go but he’s excited for what Luke Kennard can bring to the group. Joked with him that Luke’s barely got him in 3point% “Yeahhh, I’ll catch him,” Bane joked. -via Twitter @DrewHill_DM / February 10, 2023
