Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant was accused in police reports last year of punching a 17-year-old, US media reported Wednesday, but his agent said the rising NBA star acted in self defense.
Ja Morant of the Memphis Grizzlies looks on during the third quarter against the Philadelphia 76ers at Wells Fargo Center on February 23, 2023 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
No criminal charges were filed against Morant in the incident, which took place during a pickup basketball game at Morant’s Tennessee house in July 2022.
