Ja Morant has gained a reputation as an unreliable person due to two regrettable videos that were leaked on social media. One showing a gun in a nightclub booth surrounded by money and with a prostitute by his side, and the other directly displaying a gun.
This led the NBA to punish him (not too severely, as the league only goes hard on low-quality players, never on the stars). Despite these "eccentricities," all of his teammates from the Memphis Grizzlies have always spoken highly of him (like Santi Aldama, for example), and now his former teammate Ziaire Williams has done so again.
"He flew from Memphis to come to my camp. As good as he is on the court, he's ten times better off the court," Wiliams commented about his former teammate, clearly showing the great esteem he holds for him as a person.
After returning from a serious injury last year, the Grizzlies have all their hopes pinned on their project being reborn and their star returning to his former glory. Just a couple of years ago, Ja Morant was the face of the league, a solid All-Star and All-NBA player, but in just a few months, between his off-court antics and his injury, he has fallen off the radar, causing one of the league's most solid teams to plummet. Will they be competitive again this year?
