LAS VEGAS -- Memphis Grizzlies star Jaren Jackson Jr. said he and his teammates have little choice but to deal with the absence of Ja Morant across the first 25 games of the upcoming season, but Jackson said Morant will still find ways to impact the team during his suspension.
"We just gotta navigate it," Jackson said after Team USA's final day of training camp here in Sin City, and ahead of its first exhibition game in preparation for the FIBA World Cup against Puerto Rico Monday night. "Obviously we know that not having Ja is a real big hole to fill, but, you know, he's not, it's not like he's not gonna be around.
