New team, new number: Ja Morant to wear No. 1 with Portland Trail Blazers

After speaking to reporters for the first time since joining Portland, Morant was asked by team personnel to autograph a white Blazers jersey. He obliged but then quickly realized he had made a crucial mistake.

“Oh my God,” Morant exclaimed. “I signed with the No. 12!”

Morant’s No. 12 jersey was one of the NBA’s bestsellers for much of his seven-year tenure in Memphis. He switched to No. 1 after joining Portland.

The two-time All-Star stated Saturday that the Blazers “had other plans” for No. 12, hinting at a possible jersey retirement for LaMarcus Aldridge sometime in the future.

The room burst into laughter upon seeing Morant’s familiar signature and old number right next to his new number.

Morant also wore the No. 12 at Murray State and Crestwood High School in South Carolina.
