The Grizzlies say Ja Morant will not play in Thursday’s game against Orlando in Berlin
I don’t think Ja’s gonna play again for the Grizzlies.
Dunno how Memphis is going to be victorious in Germany without one of their biggest weapons.
They let Ja bring it on the plane? Wow.
They’re playing us, if they can’t find a way to win, we’ll help them find one 😅
Berlin game is anyway fixed. NBA has planned that Wagner brothers are gonna win in Germany.
*sad gunshots*
Won’t miss this bullshit from every comedian around
I suspect you’ll see the humor in it once he’s someone else’s problem. Best case scenario he gets his shit together and the headlines stop.
I suspect I won’t
Reddit comedians are the most unfunny unoriginal mfs around
Bang Bang Grizzly Gang… members.
can you blame us? a star NBA player have 3? gun incidents is insane.
I’m tired of seeing it under every single mention of the team, without fail, for 3 years because some guys think they’re funny and original and want some dumbass internet points
Dang man, shots fired.
Pew pew pew
Wow how cool, I bet girls really like you
I’m sure they love you and your superior sense of humor
Thank you
Just came out guns blazing huh
I mean I get it but this is reddit. Your team sub likely doesn’t have it. Like you said he’ll be someone elses headache soon
Pow Pow!
omg lol
Pop! Pop!
Pew pew
Severe case of hegoneitis
tradeitis
Er ist weg.
im sad man
join the club
At least Trae still loves the Hawks/Atlanta - wouldn’t surprise me if he comes back after he retires as a team affiliate (like Wall with the Wiz). Ja on the other hand…I’d mortgage my house that he’ll say the usual “I’ve loved Memphis” stuff but will be happy to be out.
I’m not
Ja quit on this team a long time ago and hasn’t been taking care of his body to stay healthy
Between that and his dumbassery, it’s time for him to go
You’ll be alright you still have Finesse 2 times and Moneybag Yo
You’ll be fine.
so theyre stomaching the league fine for not playing a star player in a premier game?
or are they confident they can trade Ja before Thursday (from Germany)
He hasn’t been an All Star since 2023
Vardon said technically that qualifies him
An All-Star in 2023, Morant is still considered a “star” by the NBA, which is relevant this week. Both Thursday’s game in Berlin and the game Sunday between the Grizzlies and Magic in London will be broadcast on Prime Video, which makes them “national TV” games by league standards. Star players are not permitted to miss those games unless they are legitimately injured.
The rule includes the previous 3 years.
I think they had been listing him on the injury report with a calf contusion.
But that doesn’t necessarily mean that he’s legitimately injured…
Or they’re going to hit him with a 1 game suspension
Ducking Franz
Ja Morant hates Germany.
He’s listed on the injury report with an injury.
Im almost free
Buddy just wanted a vacation lmao
Guarantee he didn’t give shit about Germany. Still so bizarre to take MLK game out of Memphis…
Maybe the league got confused and thought it was the Martin Luther game.
Ja Morain’t playing in Memphis anymore
In Germany too apparently
HEGONE
Grizzlies fans-
Furchte dich nicht
Does this count towards the minimum games for awards
HE
Fuck him! Go real non-quitting Grizzlies!
Tickets were 500€ MINIMUM and the game got advertised heavily with Franz and Ja, none if them will be playing. As a Berliner I am glad I didn’t get any tickets, it’s a fucking shame how money hungry the NBA is
I thought Franz was playing? And even if he doesn’t it’s not really anybody’s fault he’s injured
Oof my bad just read the IR after reading your post, I really thought he was still out but there‘s hope he can play. And yes, injuries are different from resting / whatever the situation with Morant is. Nonetheless as a German I have seen Franz millions of times and I was much more excited seeing Morant
they lost him at Berghain. Happens to tourists all the time.
Dud grenade noises
Get ready to learn Prime 112 buddy!
Absolute shocker
Ok…They actually play better without him
Trade him already
does he have a case and can’t get the visa?
He‘s here with the team
Wouldn’t want him to catch a charge and get stuck over there, how would they trade him then?
Finger guns! Pew Pew!
