Ja Morant Reacts to People Doubting Grizzlies

The Memphis Grizzlies started their season 6-19 in the 25 games Ja Morant was suspended for, but they have gone 3-0 since his return. The poor start for Memphis led many to believe even Morant's return would not be enough to get them back in the playoff mix, but this doubt is something the star point guard said his team feeds off of.

"Where we're hungry, people doubting us. That's when we're at our best," Morant said, per Damichal Cole of the Memphis Commercial Appeal.

Even with their 3-0 start to Morant's season, the Grizzlies still face an uphill battle to get back in the playoff mix. That said, Morant's return is not the only reinforcement the Grizzlies are getting. Marcus Smart and Luke Kennard are both nearing returns for the Grizzlies, and there is a chance that Brandon Clarke may make a return this season as well.

One of the top teams in the Western Conference the last couple seasons, Memphis knows what they are capable of with this core. Injuries and Morant's suspension have certainly created quite the hole for the Grizzlies to dig out of, but as Morant said, the team is at their best when they're hungry and have people doubting them.

Looking to prove those doubters wrong, the Grizzlies are excited to keep winning games.
