Over the last several seasons, due to either suspension or injury, Morant has rarely been in the Grizzlies' lineup. He played just 50 games last season, nine in the 2023-24 season, 61 in the 2022-23 season, 57 in the 2021-22 season, 63 in the 2020-21 season and 67 in the 2019-20 season, his rookie year.

Ja Morant was once the face of the Memphis Grizzlies, but that doesn't mean his trade market will reflect that fact.

Even when it’s explained to me by John Hollinger or people around the NBA, the Atlanta Hawks’ trade return for Young shocks me.
