The Memphis Grizzlies point guard is just glad to be back on a basketball court again. “Right now, I’m happy, and that’s my main focus,” Morant said Monday. “I feel like a happy Ja is a scary Ja for a lot of people. So long as I stay happy and healthy, it’ll be a great season.”

One of the signals that the season is ready to commence is each team's annual Media Day. Throughout the day, the players not only address the media but attempt to make an impression with their choice of sneakers to start the season off on a good note.

Of course, stuff happened, as they say. Ja Morant got out of line and the Grizzlies subsequently lost their place in line. The star and the team were that intertwined, as these combinations usually are, and Memphis fell just as hard as he did.

Ja Morant is happy. That was one of the primary declarations he made during Memphis Grizzlies media day Monday.
