Though, as is often the case in Grind City, weathering injuries is an unfortunate yet prominent part of this fan base’ experience. The newly extended <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/memphis-grizzlies/grizzlies-news-memphis-jaren-jackson-jr-injury-return-timetable-surgery">Jaren Jackson Jr. could miss</a> the start of next season after undergoing surgery for turf toe, forcing general manager Zach Kleiman to reconsider the frontcourt situation. He is getting right to work.</p><p>After <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/indiana-pacers/pacers-news-indiana-acquires-center-jay-huff-trade-grizzlies">trading Jay Huff to the Indiana Pacers</a> on Saturday, Memphis <a href="https://x.com/BrettSiegelNBA/status/1941609610864935180" rel="noopener">scooped up free-agent center</a> Jock Landale, via Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints. Huff provides more offensive upside — shooting 40.5 percent from 3-point range during the 2024-25 campaign — but with Jackson and Zach Edey spending months in recovery, the Grizzlies are choosing to prioritize rebounding by adding a more traditional big man.</p><p>Landale averaged 4.8 points and 3.3 rebounds in 11.9 minutes for the Houston Rockets last season. Although he had a sparse presence from beyond the arc, the 29-year-old Australian shot 42.3 percent from 3-point land. He will join an altered roster that includes two-time NBA champion Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, spark plug Cole Anthony and versatile rookie Cedric Coward.</p><h2><b>Grizzlies face more challenges</b></h2><p>Even with Desmond Bane now on the Orlando Magic, Memphis should be more than formidable when at full strength. As stated before, though, a healthy squad is not something this franchise can reasonably count on after all the misfortune it has endured the last couple of years. Ja Morant played only 59 games combined in the last two campaigns. Since Jackson and Edey are both tending to injuries, his health will arguably be more crucial than ever.</p><p>There may be nights when the star point guard has to carry the Grizzlies to victory. There is no room for error in the painfully deep Western Conference. A depleted frontcourt could be damaging enough to sink the team’s playoff chances. Hopefully, Santi Aldama, who <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/memphis-grizzlies/grizzlies-news-sign-santi-aldama-3-year-52-million-contract">recently signed a contract extension</a> himself, Brandon Clarke and newcomer Jock Landale can keep the unit from unraveling during the early goings of next season.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Although the star point guard has not received any suspensions since or been seen brandishing a firearm, he still gave the league offices a headache with his finger-gun celebrations in April. The 25-year-old was assessed <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/memphis-grizzlies/grizzlies-news-ja-morant-fined-75000-gun-gestures-vs-heat">a $75,000 fine</a>, and fans consequently gave him a unique nickname, one that he seems to be embracing as of Saturday.</p><p>Morant <a href="https://x.com/GrizzlyMuse/status/1939075064802230283" rel="noopener">changed the profile photo</a> on his Instagram and X/Twitter accounts to an image of Keanu Reeves’ beloved “John Wick” character, via GrizzMuse, an apparent reference to the “Ja Wick” moniker that people have referred to him as on social media.</p><p>For those unfamiliar with the film franchise that reinvigorated Reeves’ acting career, it centers around a legendary and retired hit man who comes back into focus after seeking revenge on a group of mobsters. Consequently, he ends up on the radar of almost every serious assassin and is forced to constantly fight to stay alive. It is John Wick versus the world, so to speak. There are multiple ways to interpret Morant’s change as it pertains to this complex protagonist.</p><p>Wick is obviously extremely adept at using a firearm. If the 2022 All-NBA Second-Team selection is alluding to that aspect specifically, that might not go over well given his history. Or, maybe this “Ja Wick” transformation is sending another message: No. 12 is entering the offseason with a vengeance following all the criticism.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Ja Morant’s new profile picture: </p><p>😂🥷 <a href="https://t.co/lTxjumvQ7j">pic.twitter.com/lTxjumvQ7j</a></p><p>— GrizzMuse (@GrizzlyMuse) <a href="https://twitter.com/GrizzlyMuse/status/1939075064802230283?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 28, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><h2><b> Ja Morant, Grizzlies press on</b></h2><p>The Grizzlies are in the midst of a crucial summer, as they reshape their roster ahead of the 2025-26 campaign. Memphis appears fully committed to Morant and Jaren Jackson Jr. as the co-cornerstones of this squad, at least at this time, after its decision to <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/memphis-grizzlies/grizzlies-news-gm-admits-desmond-bane-trade-great-magic">trade Desmond Bane to the Orlando Magic</a> in mid-June. The front office further modified its vision by <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/memphis-grizzlies/grizzlies-blazers-trade-grades-for-2025-nba-draft-deal">moving up to select promising wing Cedric Coward</a> with the No. 11 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. This feels like a new era in Grind City.</p><p>But as long as he is healthy, which is certainly no guarantee, Ja Morant remains the centerpiece of this team. Sure, he is a polarizing figure, and yes, he is coming off an injury-ravaged campaign in which his production and overall efficiency dipped, but this electric athlete is still capable of great things on a basketball court. Despite the skepticism surrounding him, Morant seems determined to remind everyone of his scintillating skills.</p><p>Perhaps this “Ja Wick” persona is not meant to stoke flames or give the NBA the finger, but rather to serve as personal motivation in the face of all the mockery. If genuinely positive results follow, fans will extol him once again. Even so, the Grizzlies would probably appreciate it if their their franchise pillar laid low for a bit.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The goal for Ja Morant’s new media company is to reclaim the narrative and amplify authentic voices from the culture, starting with the Memphis Grizzlies guard’s own voice.</p><p>Led by Chairman of the Board Ja Morant, as well as CEO Phil Morant, Catch12 will operate at the intersection of sports, storytelling, and social impact. The company serves as the central hub for all media, branding, and ventures connected to the Morant family, including his Nike EYBL program “Twelve Time,” the “Tee’d Up Podcast” featuring his father Tee Morant, and his My Brothers No Others Foundation, also known as the MBNO Foundation.</p><p>“This is more than a media company,” CEO Phil Morant said in the release. “It’s a platform to tell real stories—from where we come from, how we got here, and what we’re building for the next generation.”</p><p>Per the official Catch12 release:</p><blockquote>Catch12’s official website, www.catch12.com, will host an evolving portfolio of original content, including mini-documentaries, exclusive interviews, and branded series that spotlight rising talent, celebrate icons, and speak directly to underserved communities. The company is already in production on multiple series, starting with the Tee’d Up Podcast, a docu-series chronicling the Morant’s inner circle, and a full-length documentary following the Morant’s youth basketball program, Twelve Time.As the company grows, Catch12 is also exploring additional verticals that align with its core mission—expanding its reach across media, investment, and cultural innovation. These initiatives remain in development but reflect the broader ambition of Catch12 to build lasting influence and generational value.</blockquote><p>The new Catch12 Media Company will also feature leadership from Ja Morant’s father, Tee Morant, his best friend and Vice President of Strategic Partnerships, Davonte Pack, as well as other long-time members of Team Morant.</p><p>“We’re not waiting for someone to tell our story,” said Berry Winn, Chief Operating Officer of Catch 12. “We’re building the platform ourselves—with purpose, pride, and power.”</p><p>A two-time NBA All-Star, Ja Morant just finished his sixth season in the NBA, all with the Memphis Grizzlies. Morant has won Rookie of the Year in 2019-20, Most Improved Player of the Year for 2021-22, and made an All-NBA team in the 2021-22 season.</p><p>In 50 games this past season, Morant averaged 23.2 points, 4.1 rebounds, 7.3 assists, and 1.2 steals per game while shooting 45.4 percent from the field and 31 percent from three.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
