Ja Morant says he is comfortable with any role, including coming off the bench, for the Portland Trail Blazers

Ja Morant, a two-time NBA All-Star, was traded to the Portland Trail Blazers, creating a crowded backcourt with Damian Lillard, Jrue Holiday, and Scoot Henderson. When asked about possibly coming off the bench, Morant said he is comfortable with any role. Lillard has publicly supported Morant, dismissing concerns about their fit. The Blazers, who made the playoffs last season, hope Morant's addition will help them compete in the Western Conference.
