Ja Morant is coming off a fantastic year however he’ll have to be a little more cautious as one of the league’s fresh faces with him threatening to murder a fan on Twitter
Morant was forced to sit out the final four games of the Grizzlies’ series against the Golden State Warriors, putting an end to his season. Nonetheless, Ja is one of the NBA’s fresh faces, and his destiny is inextricably linked to the league’s success.

NBA Twitter, on the other hand, is NBA Twitter. As good as Morant is, some supporters will always want to drag him down a notch. Despite his injuries, the Murray State graduate remained active on social media, tweeting and cheering on his team from the sidelines.
Hollows is very certainly a reference to bullets, and Morant will undoubtedly hear about it from someone in the organization or league office. Interacting with fans is one thing — indeed, in today’s game, responding negatively is OK — but what Ja did was a thinly veiled threat.
Morant was clearly caught up in the moment and had no intention of following up on his post.
Details:
Smack talk is just that, and it should not be mistaken for anything more. There is, however, a line, and many would consider Morant’s remark to be crossing it.
Morant’s tweet was deleted, implying that someone in his inner circle (or even Morant himself) understood the remark was inappropriate at the time.
Morant appeared to threaten a fan in reaction to a troll’s comment about his argument with Warriors player Jonathan Kuminga.
Ja went too far after one troll got involved in the back-and-forth between him and Warriors player Jonathan Kuminga.
Morant wrote, “It’s free to see how hollows feel.”
During the Warriors’ playoff series, Ja Morant looked to have a frosty back-and-forth with the team. However, despite Morant’s injury, the Warriors were able to defeat the Grizzlies in six games.
“My favorite matchup. On Friday night, he tweeted, “looking forward to more battles 30.”
While Ja Morant and the Grizzlies may not have achieved their ultimate aim this season, they have established themselves as one of the NBA’s most promising young teams.
Memphis has a promising future.
