Ja Morant’s first game against the Memphis Grizzlies is a major storyline, given the bond he built with the team and its fans after Memphis selected him second overall in 2019. The matchup comes amid discussion of Morant’s reported move toward Portland, while Memphis has opened the 2026–27 season 3–0, its best start since 2017–18. Coverage also previews the game and highlights other NBA news, including early-season injuries.
