Ja Morant Sues Teenager He Allegedly Fought During A Pickup Game

Ja Morant is getting ready for his run into the NBA Finals. Ahead of his matchup with the Los Angeles Lakers, Morant has countersued the teenager who claims assault at his home. The Memphis Grizzlies point guard is suspected of beating up and pointing a gun at a 17-year-old following a basketball game at his house in July 2022, Morant allegedly hit the teenager after he threw a ball back at Morant. The ball slipped through and hit Morant in the chin. The teenager said that Morant asked one of his friends if “Do I do it to him?” to which his friend replied “Yeah. Do it.” That moment was followed by a punch in the jaw and an assault by Morant’s friends. The teenager said that Ja went back into his house and came out with a gun in his waistband, and while he did not pull the gun out, he put his hand on it. Morant’s dad apparently came outside and yelled at him to get back inside the house.
