NBA superstar Ja Morant was accused of punching a 17-year-old during a pickup basketball game that took place last summer. The incident reportedly occurred four days after a security guard at a Memphis mall filed a police report alleging that the Memphis Grizzlies star threatened him and one of Ja’s homies “shoved” him. No arrests were made at the time … but things may change.
During the pickup game, Ja Morant was accused by the teen of repeatedly punching him in the head. The incident happened at Morant’s house, and the teenager told police that Ja later went into his home and returned with a gun visible in his waistband.
When the police arrived, Ja told officers in an interview that he was acting in self-defense after the boy threw a basketball at his head, though the NBA star acknowledged, “I swung first.”
Well now Media Take Out was able to obtain the police body cam footage, which showed the 17 year old boy explaining exactly what happened, and it’s pretty damning.
Ja needs to pay that boy for what he did, and move on with his life.
