Ja Morant, the star of the Memphis Grizzlies, is recognized as one of the top guards in basketball. With two NBA All-Star appearances in just five seasons (four full seasons), Morant has been instrumental in the transformation of the Grizzlies franchise.
Despite only playing nine games last season due to suspension and a season-ending shoulder injury, Morant is determined to lead the Grizzlies back to the playoffs. As training camp approaches, Morant appears to be fully healthy and motivated.
A passionate basketball fan, Morant frequently reacts to various developments in the game, including the WNBA. Recently, Morant acknowledged Las Vegas Aces star A’ja Wilson for making WNBA history by scoring her 1,000th point in a season.
Both Morant and Wilson hail from South Carolina, a fact that Morant highlighted in his message. Another South Carolina native, Zion Williamson of the New Orleans Pelicans, was also featured in a post that Morant reacted to, showcasing the three basketball stars.
Morant’s response: “stamp dat !!”
A dominant force in the WNBA, Wilson is having a historic season, averaging 27.0 points, 12.0 rebounds, and 2.6 blocks per game for the Las Vegas Aces. With two previous WNBA MVP titles under her belt, Wilson is expected to add a third this year.
Currently the fourth seed in the WNBA standings, Las Vegas, led by Wilson, has two regular season games left before the playoffs begin.
