Ja Morant Subpoenaed Over Alleged Assault, Faces Court Amid NBA Suspension

The Memphis Grizzlies star is set to testify in a civil lawsuit stemming from a fight with a teenager during a pickup basketball game, while serving a 25-game suspension for a separate incident.

  • Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant has been subpoenaed to testify in a civil lawsuit filed against him by a teenager he allegedly assaulted during a pickup basketball game at his home in July 2022.
  • The incident led to Morant receiving an eight-game suspension after he displayed a gun in a video filmed at a nightclub shortly after the allegations.
  • Morant is currently serving a 25-game suspension for a similar incident where he flashed a gun in an Instagram Live video.
  • Morant's friend Davonte Pack, who was also involved in the incident, was arrested in July for assault with bodily harm.
  • The Memphis Grizzlies have struggled in Morant's absence, losing 13 of their first 17 games.
