Ja Morant and Jaren Jackson Jr. React to Reported Social Media Drama

The two Memphis Grizzlies stars got a good laugh out of this

After it was inaccurately portrayed that Memphis Grizzlies star Jaren Jackson Jr. had recently unfollowed Ja Morant on Twitter, the two star teammates had a hilarious reaction to the perceived social media drama. Previously only following three accounts on Twitter, Jackson followed almost the entire Grizzlies team once the report of him unfollowing Morant went viral. After this, he and Morant shared a laugh about it:

Both Tweeting singular laughing emojis, Jackson and Morant clearly found the entire development amusing. Many people were trying to make the perceived drama something it wasn't, especially considering Jackson was only following three accounts at the time, and didn't suddenly unfollow his teammate like the initial report insinuated.

As previously mentioned, Jackson is now following almost the entire Grizzlies roster, along with a few others. Bringing his following count from three to 38, Jackson had a hilarious response to what was a complete non-story. Morant clearly felt the same way, responding to Jackson's Tweet after the Grizzlies big man followed him back.

Brooklyn Nets star and Jackson's Team USA teammate also got a follow back, and shared a hilarious response himself:

Thanks for the follow back gang🤞🏾

While every NBA star is used to their life being overanalyzed and reported on, stuff like this can certainly become frustrating, especially when it's so insignificant. That said, Jackson had a great reaction to it all, and now follows his teammates.
