George Karl turned to social media to express his support for Ja Morant, calling the Memphis Grizzlies guard one of his favourites despite his off-court issues.
The Memphis Grizzlies had a difficult 2023-24 season, hampered by significant player injuries that pushed them down the Western Conference standings.
However, the squad enters the 2024-25 season with newfound optimism, hoping to return to playoff contention if their core remains healthy.
At the heart of their comeback is Ja Morant, the dynamic guard who missed much of last season due to a suspension and season-ending shoulder surgery.
Morant's on-court effect is undeniable—his remarkable speed, recklessness at the rim, and dazzling athleticism make him one of the NBA's most intriguing players.
Legendary NBA coach George Karl has expressed his respect for Morant.
In a post on X, Karl lauded the Grizzlies' star, emphasising both his talent and his passion for the game.
“Ja is one of my favorite players. He’s a young talent that plays with tremendous heart. He has to learn the game better and find a good path off the court!! I’m rooting for him,” Karl said.
