In relation to this, Portland head coach Micah Nori stands convinced that Ja Morant will live up to his words, as he believes that the star guard will be fully committed to the team's benefit and for the sake of winning.

"Well, I don't know," Nori said on SiriusXM NBA Radio about Morant's comments about his role in the Trail Blazers.
