Ja Morant reminds his teammates that he would have fought the Bulls' Tony Bradley if he needed to do so. Petre Thomas-USA TODAY Sports

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant was ready to battle after a brief on-court scuffle with the Chicago Bulls on Monday.

Morant got tangled up with Chicago’s Tony Bradley while driving to the basket. A brief scuffle ensued when Bradley wouldn’t let go of Morant, prompting Steven Adams to intervene and play peacemaker.

Amusingly, Morant could be seen on the bench after things had cooled down making clear that he was ready to throw hands if necessary. The Memphis guard could clearly be seen saying “I can fight all right” to teammates during a timeout.

You don’t need to be a professional lip reader to figure that one out. Morant isn’t even put off by the fact that Bradley would have more than half a foot on him height-wise.

Honestly, Bradley should probably take note and stay away next time. We already know the Memphis point guard can be pretty brutal and vicious at times. He’ll scrap and battle as hard as he needs to.
