The full details and story are not present yet, but Memphis’ all-star Ja Morant is calling “cap” on the whole situation.

Two Sunday’s ago, the Memphis Grizzlies hosted the Indiana Pacers and Memphis won the game, 112-100. All was well for roughly a week after until details emerged on the incident surrounding Ja Morant and the members of his party confronting members of the Pacers in an “aggressive manner”.

Morant used the term “cap” which is another way of saying there is no truth to the allegations against himself and the associates he was with. Not the kind of drama the team wants to be dealing with. Tennessee Sports Betting sites have the Grizzlies at (+1200) to win the Finals this season.

An unnamed member from the Pacers was reported saying “We felt we were in grave danger”. Grizzlies two-time all-star Ja Morant missed last night’s game with a wrist injury and was not available to speak to the media. His head coach Taylor Jenkins addressed the media as best he could on what he knows and what Memphis is doing about it.
