For Grizzlies fans, it's good to see that two of their three best players are interacting on social media.

They have always appeared to have good chemistry over their five seasons as teammates.

Last year, the Grizzlies dealt with a lot of injuries so they were the 13th seed in the Western Conference with a 27-55 record.

They missed the NBA playoffs for the first time since the 2020 season.

Morant only appeared in nine games last season, but he finished with averages of 25.1 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 8.1 assists per contest while shooting 47.1% from the field and 27.5% from the three-point range.

If he returns to full health next year, the two-time NBA All-Star will likely be in the conversation as one of the best 15 players in the league.
