In a surprising turn of events, Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant and his family have been issued subpoenas to testify in an upcoming court hearing for a civil lawsuit. The lawsuit stems from an alleged assault that occurred during a pickup basketball game at Morant's home in July 2022. An immunity hearing is scheduled for December, where Morant's lawyers will argue that he acted in self-defense. This high-profile case adds even more drama to Morant's already eventful season, as he is set to return to the court just days before the hearing after completing a 25-game suspension imposed by the NBA.
The subpoenas were not only issued for Morant, but also for his close friend, Davonte Pack, and his parents, Tee and Jamie. Additionally, other witnesses and members of the Shelby County Sheriff's Office who investigated the altercation have also been summoned. This legal battle has been ongoing for over a year, with both parties gearing up for what promises to be a contentious hearing. As fans eagerly anticipate Morant's return to action, the outcome of the case could have significant implications for the young star's reputation and career.
Despite the off-court distractions, the Grizzlies have struggled this season, currently boasting a 4-13 record. As Morant and his family prepare to testify, the basketball world watches with bated breath, wondering how this legal saga will unfold and what impact it will have on one of the brightest talents in the NBA.
