The Memphis Grizzlies are holding their training camp for three days this week in Nashville … at Belmont.

Keith Parish from the Fastbreak Breakfast Podcast, posted on X that “Ja Morant is intentionally wearing a Murray State shirt and said he’s going to wear Murray State gear every day.”

More than six years after playing his last game at Murray State, the Belmont rivalry is still alive and well for the Memphis point guard.
