Grizzlies pushed Ja Morant to play against Thunder when he wasn’t ready yet after injury?

When Ja Morant isn’t going to be playing, and you know you will get the starting nod, does your mindset change knowing you will be playing more minutes? Scotty Pippen Jr: I feel like yes, I’m about to be a little bit more aggressive, but I just feel like every game I kind of approach it the same way. Whatever the team needs in me, I try to do it. So, Ja’s not out there, I know we’re missing a piece, so I try to not just fulfill that piece, but I try to do all I can just to help the team win. -via HoopsHype / March 25, 2025
