Police conduct welfare check on Grizzlies' Ja Morant after posts
Police in Tennessee conducted a welfare check on Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant following cryptic messages on his Instagram story account Wednesday, with officials telling TMZ that he's just "taking a break from social media."Earlier Wednesday, Morant posted -- and then deleted -- messages and pictures to social media saying "Love ya ma [blue heart emoji]," "Love ya pops [blue heart emoji]" and "You da greatest baby girl [blue heart emoji] love ya." He then followed those with a post that simply said, "Bye."
The Shelby County Sheriff's Office told TMZ that officers went to Morant's home to check on him.

Zach Edey Was An Absolute Force In His Impressive Summer League Debut
I'm going to be completely honest with you, I don't really get the Zach Edey hate. Granted I didn't exactly watch every second of his college career, and I understand how his whistle was fucked while at Purdue while he completely dominated everyone, but even still. All I heard heading into the Draft was he was going to stink and that the Grizzlies were idiots at taking him #9. I dunno, you can't teach giant, and in the NBA situation is everything. Why couldn't Edey be a solid player in Memphis?
Tonight we got our first look at Edey at the "next level" in his Summer League debut against the Jazz, and I know. It's summer league. I'm probably one of like 15 people on the planet who
A) Watch these games
B) Cares about what happens in these games
It's a sickness I live with, and you of course have to take everything you see this time of year with a gigantic grain of salt. Everyone knows that in Summer League everything positive you see will absolutely translate to the real games and anything negative you see can be ignored because these games are fake and don't mean anything.
So when it comes to Edey's debut, I'd say it wasn't half bad!

In the end, it's hard to complain about 14/15 with 4 blocks on 7-12 in 32 minutes for Edey. That was the exact type of performance you're looking for if you're the Grizzlies and why you drafted him #9 overall. For all the clowning you tend to see about Edey and what he'll be able to do at the NBA level, he seemed to look OK to me.
Granted this time of year is exactly when you should overreact and let your brain go to places they probably shouldn't, which I imagine Grizzlies fans are doing. Remember, next year their whole team won't be suspended/injured and now they could be adding a real piece at the center position? Plenty of reason to be excited if you ask me.

I was hoping he would fall to the Cavs. He's not Wemby but there's a place for him and if used properly, he could dominate.
