Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant just completed his sixth NBA season. As has often been the case in his career, Morant was forced to miss several games due to injury. Making just 50 regular season appearances for Memphis, Morant was also sidelined during his team's first round series against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Undercut by Thunder guard Lu Dort in Game 3, Morant fell hard on his hip and was forced to miss Game 4. Memphis was ultimately swept by the No. 1 seed Thunder, making it another early offseason for a team that had deep playoff hopes before the year began.

"be careful what you wish for," the point guard wrote.
Morant does not have his replies open on X, but the quotes on this post have been flooded with fans wondering what he means by this and if it could be related to the trade buzz.

"Come play with Zion," said a Pelicans fan.
"Welcome to Miami Ja," a heat fan commented.
"They trading you big bro?" another asked.
