Ja Morant takes stand in civil lawsuit against him
Ja Morant is now talking about the incident, which he says was between games. Morant says Josh Holloway set the ball at his feet. “That’s disrespectful,” Morant said. “Setting the ball at your feet in a check ball situation is disrespectful.” Morant and Holloway were at the top of the three point line doing the check ball, Morant says. It was later in the evening and the temperature was cooling down, he says.

Ja Morant just had to explain and demonstrate a check ball in the middle of a Shelby County courtroom. For the record: He went with a chest pass. Yes, this is real life LOL

More on this storyline
Morant says he asked Holloway “What you on?” because Holloway was acting differently. Holloway, Morant said, did not respond to him, but said he pulled his pants up. “Him pulling up his shorts, where I’m from, that’s a fighting stance,” Morant says, adding that Holloway took a step towards him. -via Memphis Commercial Appeal / December 11, 2023
Geoff Calkins: Ja Morant: “I thought he was about to hit me so I swung first.” -via Twitter @geoff_calkins / December 11, 2023
Multiple sources who have been able to observe Ja Morant’s training said Morant “looks good” in his on-court play with Grizzlies teammates. NBA commissioner Adam Silver said on Saturday night that Morant has been complying with all of the league’s checkpoints to be eligible once the 25-game suspension is up. Silver and Morant will have another conversation this week before Morant is fully cleared. -via The Athletic / December 11, 2023
