Even if given a chance, nobody would want to be Ja Morant in today’s time.
Imagine averaging sub-20 points per game while also shooting mid-range, and despite giving all he had, the Memphis Grizzlies superstar was sidelined for a prolonged period with an elbow injury.
However, amid all the chaos, Morant’s future has quietly become a talking point across the league, and former NBA guard Joe Johnson believes he knows exactly where the Memphis star could rediscover his best form.
Speaking on the Nightcap podcast, the former Miami Heat guard pointed to South Beach as an ideal destination, emphasizing both structure and culture as key factors.
“I’m not going to lie, I think he would thrive in that Miami situation,” he said. “ I want to see Ja back out there throwing grenades, covering his ears… I never went to the club when I played for the Heat. We worked so hard I couldn’t wait to go lay down.”
