Ja Morant is usually known for his swagger on the court during games. However, over the last couple of weeks, Morant’s name has been in the headlines for all the reasons.
He got into trouble for brandishing a gun in an Instagram Live video when he was in a Colorado strip club. It led to Morant getting suspended from playing games. During his time away from the league, Ja reportedly sought help by entering a counseling program. Ja’s father, Tee Morant, recently talked about the impact of spending some time away from the NBA on his son in an interview with ‘The Athletic.’
“I saw growth. I saw growth, and I saw grace. And I know that he knows that God is in control of everything. Forget what the world got to say about you; you can only be judged by one.”
Ja Morant’s return against the Houston Rockets was celebrated like a festival by the Memphis Grizzlies fanbase. In his return, Morant came off the bench and helped the team register a comfortable win.
Morant recorded a solid 17 points, 4 rebounds, and 5 assists in just 24 minutes. Once Ja gets back in his rhythm, the Grizzlies will be a tough team to stop in the playoffs.
Tee Morant Took The Blame For Ja Morant’s Actions
Ja Morant may have returned to playing basketball, but fans won’t forget his controversies in a hurry. The Grizzlies superstar will be in the spotlight over the next few weeks, and if he shows any signs of going back to his previous self, he will be berated.
But what’s the root cause behind Morant’s controversial actions? Well, his father, Tee Morant, recently took the entire blame for his son’s actions on himself.
“I blame myself,” he said. “I blame myself. Because that’s my son. When I say I will die for my kids, I will die for my kids. Now has the world thought about that or thought like that? Anything my kid does, I’m going to blame myself.”
Tee is certainly not wrong in holding himself accountable for his son’s actions. But at the end of the day, Ja cannot simply transfer the blame for his controversies to his father.
After all, he is one of the biggest stars in the NBA and is a role model for many out there. Hopefully, Morant has realized that and will never be involved in such controversies again.
