It’s no secret that Warriors sharpshooter Klay Thompson and Nets guard Ben Simmons got off to slow starts this season. Both players were seeking full-time returns to the courts after a slew of injuries, so naturally the road forward was bumpy.
Plenty of critics were quick to harp on Thompson and Simmons, both of whom are multi-time All-Stars and pivotal pieces of their organizations. However, the two seem to have support from at least one of their peers: Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant.
With the season now in full swing—and Thompson and Simmons getting more acclimated every day—Morant took to social media to make an astute observation about those that have criticized the two players in recent months.
