Ja Morant Traded to Portland Trail Blazers in Blockbuster Deal

NBA’s rising star Ja Morant was moved from the Memphis Grizzlies to the Portland Trail Blazers in a high‑profile trade. In return, Portland sent forward Jerami Grant and forward Kris Murray to Memphis.

Morant, a two‑time All‑Star who served a 25‑game suspension in 2023 for a firearms incident, hopes the new setting will revive his career. The deal is being called one of the league’s most significant moves this offseason.
