Morant has surprised even his own teammates, like when he unexpectedly showed up to a G League Memphis Hustle game to watch GG Jackson, Kenneth Lofton Jr., Jacob Gilyard and others in action on Dec. 7. Because Morant wasn’t at NBA summer league, this was the first time since Jackson’s AAU days that the fellow South Carolina native caught one of his games. “I didn’t know he was coming,” Jackson said. “It was pretty cool to see him come out there. Gives you a chance to envision what you want yourself to be like. It was crazy.” -via Memphis Commercial Appeal / December 17, 2023
