Although Ja Morant is sidelined, he’s still making his presence known from the Grizzlies’ bench in street clothes.
Saturday night’s game between the Grizzlies and Mavericks got heated as top pick Cooper Flagg was tripped by Memphis big man Santi Aldama, which led to current Dallas guard and Warriors legend Klay Thompson coming to his young teammate’s defense. At the end of the game, the Mavs trailed by three points and Thompson took a long three-point attempt with 17 seconds left on the shot clock that fell short.
