Ja Morant Shares Two Word Message for Fans After Loss to Clippers

In this story:
Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant has had a lot of ups and downs during his time in the NBA, both on and off the court, but one thing that has remained consistent is his loyal fanbase. One of the most popular players in the league, Morant has a lot of fans even outside of Memphis, which is a product of his electrifying play on the court.
When asked what his message is for his fans following Friday night's loss to the LA Clippers, Morant kept it simple, and said, "Thank you."
Appreciative of the support his fans have for him, Morant thanked them after this game. This was the first loss the Grizzlies have suffered with Morant in the lineup this season, but it's not one they see as a setback. Understanding the Clippers are a very tough opponent, even without Kawhi Leonard, the Grizzlies are ready to put this game behind them and get back to their winning ways.
Morant didn't look quite like himself in this game, perhaps still being under the weather after his illness absence against the Nuggets, but he was still able to finish with 19 points, 10 assists, and 6 rebounds in the loss to LA. Looking to bounce back and get back in the win column, Morant and the Grizzlies will face the Sacramento Kings on Sunday.
