Tee Morant distinguishes Memphis city from Grizzlies organization after Ja trade

Tee Morant expressed no resentment toward Memphis following his son Ja Morant's trade to the Portland Trail Blazers. On his podcast, he made clear that his issues lie with the Grizzlies' decision-making, not the city itself. Memphis traded Ja Morant on June 29 for Jerami Grant and Kris Murray, along with cash considerations. Tee Morant emphasized the importance of future matchups against the Grizzlies and stated, 'when we get on that court, you better know it's a reckoning.' Ja Morant will face his former team three times during the upcoming season, starting with their first encounter on October 29.
