The Grizzlies signed veteran guard Derrick Rose earlier this offseason, in part, to mentor young star Ja Morant.
As Morant faces challenges both on and off the court, Rose has delivered a clear and impactful message to the rising talent.
In a recent conversation with Morant, Rose’s message was straightforward: “I’m not here to babysit you. I’m not here to follow you around. I’m not here to cheerlead. … I’m here to push you,” as reported by ESPN.
Morant’s journey has been marked by some off-court incidents, including a suspension for displaying a gun during an Instagram Live session.
Rose’s mentorship is aimed at guiding Morant through the ups and downs of his burgeoning NBA career.
