NBA-Profi Ja Morant ist von einem Gericht in Tennessee von Schadensersatzforderungen freigesprochen worden. Der Basketballer der Memphis Grizzlies war von einem Teenager verklagt worden, nachdem es im Juli 2022 am Rande eines privaten Basketball-Spiels auf Morants Grundstück zu einer Auseinandersetzung gekommen war, bei dem der damals 17 Jahre alte Kläger zu Boden geschlagen wurde. Das Gericht in Shelby County urteilte nun, Morant habe in Selbstverteidigung gehandelt und kein Gesetz im US-Bundesstaat Tennessee gebrochen. Die Provokation sei von dem Teenager ausgegangen, der einen Basketball in...

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant received a 25-game suspension after live streaming himself holding, what appears to be, a firearm on Instagram live on May 13. “Ja Morant’s decision to once again wield a firearm on social media is alarming and disconcerting given his similar conduct in March for which he was already suspended eight games,” said NBA Commissioner Adam Silver in a statement. This comes after Silver said in a press conference before the start of the 2023 NBA Finals that he had “uncovered more information” about the situation, announcing Morant’s punishment would be finalize...

Be careful wearing the visiting team’s gear to professional sporting events—it could hinder your chances of interacting with a player. Some Golden State Warriors fans learned that the hard way on Tuesday night. Late in the Memphis Grizzlies’ 116-108 victory over the Warriors, Ja Morant drove through the defense for a layup and was fouled by Golden State’s Andrew Wiggins. Prior to heading to the free throw line, an amped-up Morant exchanged a few words with some young Warrior fans—one of whom was looking for a high five. “He was disrespectful with that jersey on,” Morant said after the game. “W...

Fans were upset by the loss to the Thunder and some blamed Morant. “I was running down the court, and I heard some of my fans courtside tell me I need to sit back out,” Morant said. “So, I just don’t understand what t...
