Ja Morant pushed back against the perception that he is the NBA’s “bad guy” as he began his tenure with the Portland Trail Blazers on July 11 2026.
The 24-year-old guard, acquired by Portland during the offseason, said the characterization does not reflect who he is and emphasized that he is focused on making a positive impact with his new team.
Morant’s remarks came as he prepares for his first season in Portland, marking a fresh chapter in his career.
