What’s the buzz on Twitter?

Drew Hill @DrewHill_DM
Taylor Jenkins gave an update on Ja Morant: dailymemphian.com/section/sports…6:35 PM
Mark Giannotto @mgiannotto
Asked Taylor Jenkins about Ja Morant’s knee injury being called “soreness,” if he had MRI/X-Ray: “They’re doing that right now. Right now, it’s soreness. That’s what he’s feeling. So they’re diving in … to see what’s actually going on & what course of action needs to be taken.” – 5:59 PM
Michael Wallace @MyMikeCheck
Shoutout to @Malika Andrews and @ESPN cast for phenomenal intro essay on Memphis to set up today’s NBA Today broadcast from @FedExForum. Paid homage to each unique era of @Memphis Grizzlies evolution to current @Ja Morant & @jarenjacksonjr’s NXTGen stage. – 3:21 PM
Damichael Cole @DamichaelC
In my conversation with Stephen A. Smith, we talked about how he’s warming up to the Memphis Grizzlies as title contenders after sleeping on them. And not just Ja Morant.
“I think (Desmond) Bane, Jackson and these brothers can really really ball.”

“Ja Morant deserves more billboards than Elvis.” — Stephen A. Smith yelling at Mad Dog on First Take.
Mad Dog then proceeds to call Graceland “Gracie Mansion.”

ESPN has come to town for the ESPN All-Access Day for the Memphis Grizzlies, as they square off against KD, Kyrie and the Brooklyn Nets… without Ja Morant.

More on this storyline

Meghan Triplett: Coach Jenkins said Ja Morant is still day-to-day with the knee soreness. They are being cautious and smart with offloading. Jenkins said there will be more of an update tomorrow. Ja Morant was not a full participant but was in a couple of drills today at practice. -via Twitter @Meghan_Triplett / March 22, 2022
