After getting into it with the Bulls man, Ja Morant had a hilarious three-word response about Steven Adams lifting Tony Bradley away from their confrontation.
It’s safe to say Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant is scared of no man. On Monday evening, the Memphis Grizzlies faced the Chicago Bulls at FedExForum, winning 119-106.
During the game, Ja Morant got into it with Tony Bradley, and had a hilarious message after the confrontation.

Ja Morant’s hilarious three-word response about Steven Adams lifting Tony Bradley
In his press conference after the game, Ja Morant was asked about the scuffle involving Tony Bradley and Steven Adams. Ja said Bradley tried to trip him up, which “wasn’t a basketball play”, and the reason why he reacted.
He said he told Bradley to get off him after the Bulls man was grabbing his jersey. One reporter then mentioned Steven Adams carrying Bradley away, to which Ja casually replied: “As he should.”
Morant finished the game with 25 points and four rebounds. The Grizzlies have now won 12 of their past 13 games and have the no.3 seed in the Western Conference.
They take on the Bucks on Wednesday night looking for their seventh straight road win.
