  Now on to sports. John Morant's time in Memphis
• 3:39
  has come to an end. The Grizzlies traded the
• 3:43
  star point guard to the Portland Trail Blazers
• 3:45
  in exchange for Jeremy Grant and Chris Murray.
• 3:49
  ESPN's Shams Charania first reported the deal.
• 3:53
  NBA insider Chris Haynes noted the Blazers' plan
• 3:56
  to start Morant alongside Damian Lillard in the
• 3:59
  backcourt. Morant, who is playing under a five
• 4:03
  -year, $197 .2 million extension, has had a turbulent
• 4:08
  few years. He was suspended for 33 games and
• 4:13
  dealt with injuries that limited his performance.
• 4:16
  Portland is hoping Morant's explosive ability
• 4:19
  will hold up, potentially altering the franchise's
• 4:22
  future. In local sports, the Red Sox extended
• 4:27
  their winning streak to five games last night,
• 4:29
  beating Washington 6 -3 at Fenway. Ranger Suarez
• 4:34
  was outstanding, five hits, three runs, eight
• 4:38
  strikeouts over six innings. Wilson Contreras
• 4:41
  and Caleb Durbin both went deep. Tonight they
• 4:45
  look to make it six straight when the Nationals
• 4:48
  come back to Fenway at 7 -10. But the real story
• 4:52
  coming out of the ballpark is the emotional weight
• 4:55
  the Venezuelan earthquake crisis is putting on
• 4:58
  the roster. More than 50 ,000 people remain missing,
• 5:02
  and several key Red Sox players are struggling
• 5:05
  to balance competing with what's happening at
• 5:08
  home. Suarez spoke candidly about the difficulty.
• 5:14
  It's very, very hard to be here when you want
• 5:16
  to be out there physically trying to help, he
• 5:18
  said. Right fielder Willier Abreu echoed that.
• 5:23
  It's very emotional, Abreu said. Contreras addressed
• 5:27
  his two -handed backflip after his first inning
• 5:31
  homer, clarifying it wasn't showboating. I was
• 5:35
  thinking of my country. Thinking of so many kids
• 5:38
  that have died. Contreras said. The organization
• 5:42
  has committed to supporting relief efforts, allowing
• 5:45
  players to display messages and raise awareness.
• 5:48
  Meanwhile, the Bruins made a big move at the
• 5:51
  draft, acquiring dynamic forward J .J. Peterka
• 5:55
  from Utah in exchange for the 23rd overall pick
• 5:59
  and a 2028 first -rounder. Peterka brings 47
