Memphis Grizzlies star guard Ja Morant, who finished with 24 points, 13 assists and five rebounds in his return to action, a win against the Orlando Magic in London, and what the experience was like for him:”It felt good, especially to be able to, you know, experience this. First time, you know, playing, you know, a real overseas game. We here in London. I needed it.”
“Just the love. You know, I’m able to see, you know, that I not only, you know, got love back home, I got it over here too with fans constantly calling my name, cheering when I was scoring and stuff. That’s big-time.”
