Memphis Grizzlies superstar Ja Morant has made it clear that he will miss controversial team-mate Dillon Brooks, tweeting a supportive message for the departing player after the Houston Rockets officially announced Brooks' new free agent deal.
Morant, suspended 25 games for conduct detrimental to the NBA, played four seasons alongside Brooks in Memphis. On Sunday, he tweeted three emojis — a sad face, a heart and an infinity symbol — to show his love for the 27-year-old.
The duo embraced villain roles as the Grizzlies rose to Western Conference relevance. Morant caused a stir last year when he said Memphis were "fine in the West" following a question about the upcoming playoffs. He has also faced discipline over multiple incidents involving guns, the latest ban keeping him out of the first few months of the upcoming campaign.
