Jaren Jackson Jr. Gets Honest About Ja Morant Situation

Memphis Grizzlies star Jaren Jackson Jr. joined LA Clippers star Paul George on the latest episode of Podcast P, which is presented by Wave Sports and Entertainment. The two players covered several topics, including Ja Morant and his current situation.

When asked about Morant, Jackson Jr. said the following:

"[Ja Mortant]'s good. I think just growing up with this much attention on you, like, especially being this young, it's a lot to deal with. I mean, you're always gonna make mistakes growing up and people gotta understand, growing up and you're the most popular player at this age, probably ever theoretically… It’s insane. A lot of things back then that you could get away with, you can't do. You gotta be a certain way… People always got to understand that everybody's human."

On his relationship with Morant, as well as how the Grizzlies guard will respond next season, Jackson Jr. said the following:

"That's my brother, though. Like no matter what, like I stand by my brother and I think that's like the lesson everybody should take away from this… Everybody's gonna say whatever but they're everybody, and it never matters at the end of the day. It's your family, it's your brother. That's just how I am. It's not like a code thing, that’s my dog, so I’m gonna ride with him. He’s gonna get right back to running the league like he does, he gonna get right back to jumping over everybody. He gonna get back to running it just like he does. He already knows that, you know, he works hard."
