Lakers to wait until February deadline before making a move?

Ja Morant’s memory is precise when it comes to the Los Angeles Lakers. He remembers the feeling of being put out by the Lakers in the 2023 playoffs, and he remembers standing on the bench injured last season while LeBron James through down a windmill dunk. All of that factored into the edge Morant played with in the Grizzlies’ 131-114 victory on Wednesday night at FedExForum. “I don’t like them,” Morant said of the Lakers. Morant pulled out the “too little” gesture after scoring over Gabe Vincent in the second quarter. Seconds later, James returned the favor after using his strength to knock Morant to the floor and score over the smaller guard. -via Memphis Commercial Appeal / November 7, 2024
