Back before the playoffs is the new expectation for Ja Morant

Per Taylor Jenkins, coach of the Memphis Grizzlies, Ja Morant is done for the next two weeks. He will be re-evaluated in two weeks as he is dealing with knee soreness; that has been named the culprit that has kept him out of action for the past week. Needless to say, his MVP Ranking will fall due to injury. But something is more important: the postseason.

It is stated that there is great optimism surrounding the fact that he could be back before the playoffs even begin. That is something the head coach and organization is fully expecting; as they will not be rushing him back in, but easing him back in. Why?

Because of the bigger picture, the bigger idea, which would be the playoffs.

Memphis is currently 15-2 without Ja Morant this season.

In a shocking turn of events, heading into the new season, NBA veteran Derrick Rose has officially announced his retirement.

On Wednesday, Rose posted on Instagram a cryptic video of what many believed to be a hint at him retiring. For those who guessed that, you all are correct.

In the early hours of Thursday, the 35-year-old announced on Instagram that he is retiring after 16 years in the league.

He wrote almost a love letter to the game of basketball, what it meant to him, and what it has done for his life.

While Rose is seen as one of the NBA’s biggest what-ifs due to his ACL injury in his prime years with the Chicago Bulls, he still had an undoubtedly incredible career. He was the youngest MVP winner at 22, a two-time FIBA Gold Medalist, Rookie of the Year, three-time All-Star, and All-NBA First Team.

Memphis has granted Rose’s request to be released from his contract, which officially means he will not play for them in the upcoming season. He has most definitely retired.
