Ja talks, and the story behind it

Before this weekend, Ja Morant, the Memphis Grizzlies star point guard, hadn't spoken to the media since January. That also meant he hadn't spoken publicly since after the NBA's trade deadline — when he notably wasn't traded and Jaren Jackson Jr. was.  But there's a story there about him talking to the media now, and it involves the injury he sustained to his left elbow on Jan. 21.  Today, The Daily Memphian's Grizzlies reporter Drew Hill returns to the show to talk about Morant, his recent conversation with him and NBA rules about injuries.
