When asked about which teams he’s studying and knows he’ll have to “run through” at some point, Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant didn’t mention any teams in the Western Conference.
He told ESPN’s Malika Andrews that he has his eye on the Celtics.
“No one in the West?” Andrews asked
“Nah, I’m fine in the West,” Morant said.
On the surface, Memphis’ record would seem to back up Morant’s confidence. At 19-11, the Grizzlies and Nuggets are atop the Western Conference. But, the Grizzlies are 8-8 in conference play.
