Ja Morant enthusiastically celebrated his return by screaming in the tunnel after Grizzlies game-winner

Ja Morant is one fired-up guy, and he’s got a message for those keeping tabs on him.

There are probably few people in the sports world who are having a better 24 hours than Ja Morant. Morant re-joined the Memphis Grizzlies on the court on Tuesday and pulled off a stunning upset against the New Orleans Pelicans.

Morant dropped a casual 34 points (which he says isn’t shocking) and tossed up a game-winning bucket as time expired that had the NBA world in shambles. COLD-BLOODED.

But, as Morant was running to the locker room postgame, cameras caught him yelling out a spicy phrase. Apparently, he’s been watching what people have said during his time away, and he’s taking notes.
