Is Ja Morant suspended? What accusations has the Memphis Grizzlies star been dealt with?
Ja Morant is one of the brightest young prospects in the league right now. One of the best scorers in the competition, the Memphis Grizzlies star is renowned for the dunking ability that separates him from the rest of the prospects in the league. Morant’s ever-growing reputation is courtesy of his ability on the court, which he proved with a recent triple-double over the Los Angeles Lakers.
However, despite being one of the brightest talents on the court in the NBA right now, all of his good work could be undone after a string of allegations were recently made against the 23-year-old.
It was found out that only last year, Morant and some of his accomplices were responsible for the beating up of an underage 17-year-old boy as well as displaying a firearm to threaten him.
That was not the only accusation put up against him, as according to the Washington Post, “NBA star Ja Morant was accused of violent or threatening behavior in two police reports, including previously unknown allegations that Morant “threatened” a mall security director. Four days later, a teenager told police Morant punched him repeatedly.”
As of now, it is unclear whether Morant will be suspended for his behaviour.
It remains to be seen if Morant will be suspended by the NBA in light of the recent allegations put up against him. Morant played a part in the Grizzlies’ most recent game over the Houston Rockets on Wednesday night, scoring 20 points in a 113-99 win – but the situation may well evolve as investigations circling the accusations continue to unfold.
However, it may be likely that Morant loses a few of his endorsement deals since the allegations surfaced. With his behaviour seeing the light of day the very same day that Morant was named as the new face of Powerade, it remains to be seen how they affect his brand image off the court.
