Portland Trail Blazers Post 3-Word Ja Morant Message

Portland Trail Blazers Post 3-Word Ja Morant Message highlights the NBA team’s welcome to its new guard as it looks to restart his career. Portland shared a collaborative Instagram carousel on July 24 showing Ja Morant touring the organization’s facility and posing beside a logo of “Rip City,” captioned with the three words “Feels like home.” The team acquired Morant from the Memphis Grizzlies in exchange for Jerami Grant and Kris Murray, with no draft picks included in the reported package. Morant participated in an introductory media session during NBA Summer League on July 11, describing the trade as a “fresh start” and saying he has matured after injuries and suspensions that affected his final years in Memphis. Statistically, he averaged 19.5 points and 8.1 assists over 20 games in his last season, and holds career marks of 22.4 points, 7.4 assists, and 4.6 rebounds with two All-Star selections. Availability remains the central uncertainty, with 79 games played across his last three seasons. Financially, he is under contract through 2027-28, earning about $42.2 million and $44.9 million in the next two years, becoming a free agent in 2028.
