This may be closest Ja Morant gets to the Knicks

Ja Morant hasn’t heard from the Knicks since meeting with the team in Chicago last week at the draft combine.

He also hadn’t visited New York before Wednesday, and coming from Sumter, S.C., before playing at Murray State, a school of roughly 11,000 in rural southwestern Kentucky, it was an adjustment.

“I’m from a small town,” Morant told The Post. “It’s a big city.”

Morant may not have many more visits here, ESPN reported last week the Grizzlies are expected to take Morant with the second-overall pick, assuming Duke’s Zion Williamson goes first to the Pelicans as expected.
