Ja Morant
What happened to Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant?
Ja Morant is one of the best young players in the NBA at the moment. The star guard who plays for the Memphis Grizzlies has made a reputation for himself to be one of the brightest young stars in the league, and is known for his incredible dunking ability that sets him apart from his peers. His ability and influence has helped him secure endorsement deals with big brands.
As of now, Morant is the face of a high-profile shoe line, wears one of the best-selling jerseys in the league and also has multiple endorsement deals on his CV. However, despite his promise on the court and his ever-growing reputation as one of the young faces of the NBA, Morant’s career has been dealt with a major blow after a few allegations about him recently saw the light of day.
In a string of incidents dating from last summer, Morant and people close to him have been accused of threatening and even violent behavior, according to previously unreported police records obtained by The Washington Post. It could be said that the 23-year-old Grizzlies star could be in huge trouble if any of the accusations against him are ever proven to be true.
What did the Grizzlies star do to warrant the allegations?
Last summer, in an encounter that has not been previously reported, the head of security at a Memphis mall told police that Morant “threatened” him during an altercation in the parking lot, leaving him alarmed enough that he filed a police report. A member of Morant’s group shoved the director in the head, he told police. No arrests were made, records show.
Four days later, Morant punched a teenage boy in the head during a basketball game at Morant’s house, the boy told police. Morant and his friend struck the 17-year-old so hard that they left him with a “large knot” on the side of his head, according to a police report narrative written by deputies who said they observed the boy’s injuries.
One can only hope that there is no truth behind these heinous accusations.
