Last season, the Memphis Grizzlies had the opportunity to experience the excitement of playing on Christmas.
However, it has been reported by The Athletic that they will not have a repeat performance in 2023. Disappointingly, Memphis did not make the cut of teams selected to participate in the Christmas games this season. Furthermore, they are also not one of the four teams scheduled to play on the NBA’s opening day.
Even though the Grizzlies had the second-best record in the Western Conference for two seasons in a row, they will face a setback as their star point guard Ja Morant serves a 25-game NBA suspension.
If the NBA had scheduled Memphis to play their 32nd game on Christmas last season, Morant would have likely been healthy and able to participate.
In the meantime Ja appears to be celebrating his Summer.
The Memphis Grizzlies superstar guard was living the good life celebrating his birthday. Last night, Ja Morant marked his birthday in Atlanta, where our source suggests he may have a new girlfriend.
The woman who joined him for the celebration is Instagram model realshybaby. According to our sources, they have been acquainted for a few months now, indicating a potential serious relationship. However, considering Ja’s history of having various romantic interests, I remain skeptical and will wait to see if this connection endures.
Ja does indeed follow Shy Baby as you can see:
Shy also posted a pic from last night’s party:
This year’s Grizzlies offseason has focused primarily on Morant’s development and the acquisition of experienced players, with less emphasis on engaging in trash talk.
