Trash-talking Grizzlies are back: Ja Morant says ‘I don’t like them’ about Lakers after Grizzlies win.
Also, J.J. Redick storms out of press conference. That took eight games.

Ja Morant thought back to a game late last season against the Lakers when he was injured.
“They came on our home floor and beat us on our home floor — was laughing, playing, looking at me talking.”
He got a chance to respond on Wednesday.

Ja Morant didn’t like the Lakers clowning around while he was out last season.
He came back on Wednesday — with some friends who used to wear purple and gold — to take care of business.

“I don’t like them, they knocked me out the playoffs and then last year they were talking crazy while I was in street clothes….. not tonight though…” — Ja Morant after being asked about Lakers team -via reddit / November 7, 2024
Ja Morant’s memory is precise when it comes to the Los Angeles Lakers. He remembers the feeling of being put out by the Lakers in the 2023 playoffs, and he remembers standing on the bench injured last season while LeBron James through down a windmill dunk. All of that factored into the edge Morant played with in the Grizzlies’ 131-114 victory on Wednesday night at FedExForum. “I don’t like them,” Morant said of the Lakers. Morant pulled out the “too little” gesture after scoring over Gabe Vincent in the second quarter. Seconds later, James returned the favor after using his strength to knock Morant to the floor and score over the smaller guard. -via Memphis Commercial Appeal / November 7, 2024
