Ja Morant won’t be leaving the Memphis Grizzlies anytime soon if general manager Zach Kleiman has any say about it. Because the offseason hasn’t officially started quite yet, Kleiman can’t say he’ll offer Morant a super max contract extension, but he can hint at what the plans are.
“Whatever I’m allowed to say under NBA rules here, I’ll say,” Kleiman smirked. “He is of course a cornerstone of this franchise.”
Kleiman also said that the knee injury Morant suffered in the second round of the playoff is “non-surgical”. He added Morant should make a full recovery “well before the start of the next season”.
