A Timeline of Ja Morant’s Off The Court Incidents: From an Alleged Punch to Flashing Guns
Written by SOURCE on May 18, 2023
Ja Morant quickly emerged as fan favorite when the world introduced to him during March Madness as a sophomore at Murray State University. His eye-popping athleticism combined with his consistent unfazed demeanor and swagger had basketball fans enamored with his future stardom. After a year and some change in the NBA, Ja stamped himself as one the best young players, one of the most electrifying talents, and one of the future faces of the league. He became the face of a city, Memphis, and one of the most marketable players in the league.
Unfortunately, his reputation and fan approval has taken a hit the past year. Morant has garnered headlines for the wrong reasons of late and is continuously digging a deeper hole for him to climb out of. While no player or human is perfect, there must be consequences for your actions especially when they are repeated offenses. From allegedly punching a 17-year old kid during a pickup basketball game to flashing guns on Instagram Live on multiple occasions, Ja Morant has been a part of some troubling situations since last May. The latest happened last week when he was caught brandishing a gun for the second time on a friend’s Instagram.
