The Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant doesn’t seem to be concerned about his western conference rivals. In an interview with ESPN’s Malika Andrews, Morant was asked which teams the Grizzlies should concentrate on, and the star guard responded with the name of a team from the Eastern Conference instead of a rival from the Western Conference.

“Who do you look at around the league as you’re studying and say, ‘We’re gonna have to run through them?’” Andrews asked. “Celtics,” Morant replied. “No one in the West?” Andrews said. “Nah, I’m fine in the West,” Morant said.

The Celtics (25-10), who lost the 2022 NBA Finals in six games to the Warriors, sit in the first spot of the Eastern Conference standings above the Bucks (22-11). Memphis already has played Boston once this season, losing 109–106 at home. The two teams will face each other again on Feb. 12 in Boston.

However, his comments didn’t age well, Ja Morant and the healthy Grizzlies in the past week since Ja said, “I’m fine in the West,” they lost to the Warriors on Christmas day who were without their star players Stephen Curry and Andrew Wiggins, and lost to the Suns at home yesterday night who were without Devin Booker, Cam Payne, Cam Johnson and Landry Shamet.

Despite losing 4 out of their last 5 games, the Grizzlies still stand strong with a record of 20-15 and are 3rd seed in the west, and have a staggering 13-3 record at home which is the best in NBA this season.

Ja Morant scores 34 points, Memphis Grizzlies struggle in blowout loss to Suns

The Memphis Grizzlies fell to the Phoenix Suns 125-108 on Tuesday at FedExForum, ending a season-high seven-game home winning streak. The Phoenix Suns, like the Golden State Warriors on Christmas day, were without two of their regular starters, however, that didn’t stop the suns from forcing Grizzlies onto the backfoot.

With a career-high 26 points and eight assists off the bench, Duane Washington Jr. led the Suns, and Jock Landale chipped in with 16 points. Chris Paul finished with 14 points and six assists, Torrey Craig and Mikal Bridges each scored 10 points, while Deandre Ayton recorded a double-double with 15 points and 10 rebounds. Phoenix’s starting five players each tallied double-digit points.

Memphis will head on the road to play the Toronto Raptors. The Raptors (15-19) are having a tough time this year, but the Grizzlies have lost three of their previous four away games. Pascal Siakam, Raptors forward is the current Eastern Conference Player of the Week, and Toronto is still 10-7 at home.
