More Recently, their newly acquired guard sat down for an interview. In the interview, he gave a candid answer on his take on Ja Morant’s suspension. The interviewer asked the former Boston Celtics star how much he had gotten to do with Morant.
He further added, “There are a lot of new guys here who don’t understand how things work here in the organization. Being able to have somebody like Ja who has been here and understands it, he has helped us out a little bit. He’s been great with building that relationship.”
