Report Details How Ja Morant Went From No Red Flags At Draft To Multiple Suspensions - RealGM Wiretap
The issues surrounding Ja Morant began to accelerate and concern the Memphis Grizzlies around the 2022 NBA All-Star Game in Cleveland, according to an extended reported piece from ESPN's Baxter Holmes and Tim MacMahon. Morant entered the league four years ago with no red flags that he would have off-court issues that could lead to multiple suspensions.
Said a second veteran NBA scout:"I studied him inside and out. There was not one person who had a bad thing to say about him. Very much a late bloomer. Good family. Had a work ethic. Humble. He checked every single box." Team sources said there were concerns about how frequently Morant, underage and often accompanied by his father, would go out drinking, and at some of Memphis' seedier establishments and strip clubs, including on nights before games.
Around the time Morant signed a five-year, $194 million extension with the Grizzlies, some in Memphis noticed a change in him.
