MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Memphis guard Ja Morant hopes to be in a Grizzlies uniform after this season despite being put on the trade market last month.

Morant, in his first public comments since he was injured seven weeks ago, emphasized the point while taking questions for 5 minutes before the Grizzlies lost to the Los Angeles Clippers 123-120 on Saturday night. In most cases, Morant’s answers were short — sometimes evasive — and shed little light on the situation between him and the Grizzlies organization.
