Ja Morant Traded to Trail Blazers

The Memphis Grizzlies traded star guard Ja Morant to the Portland Trail Blazers in a blockbuster deal, ending his tumultuous seven-year tenure with the franchise.

The trade sends Morant to a new home after clashes with coaches and multiple suspensions during his time in Memphis.

Portland is acquiring the former Rookie of the Year and two-time All-Star in exchange for Jerami Grant, Dejounte Murray, and draft compensation.

The move marks a full rebuild for the Grizzlies while the Blazers aim to pair Morant with their young core.
