Here is all about Tee Morant, father of NBA player Ja Morant along with his age, height, wife and net worth
Friday night’s game between the Memphis Grizzlies and the Los Angeles Lakers was particularly heated following a sideline altercation involving NFL Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe and Lakers stars Dillon Brooks and Ja Morant.
Before the half, Brooks and Morant were spotted conversing with Fox analyst Shannon Sharpe as they made their way to the locker rooms, which is when the incident occurred.
But when authorities and the security of the arena attempted to keep everyone apart, Tee Morant, Ja Morant’s father, was also spotted ranting at Shannon Sharpe.

Security eventually led the elder Morant and Sharpe away from the court before leading them back to their seats for the second half.
To give his side of the story to ESPN’s Dave McMenamin, Sharpe gave a quick interview. Check out the following altercation:

Tee and Sharpe appear to have patched things up after their altercation last night.
Who is Tee Morant, the father of Ja Morant?
Fans naturally wanted to know more about Ja Morant’s father Tee. Father Tee and mother Jamie Morant welcomed Ja into the world in Dalzell, South Carolina. While his father played basketball at Claflin University, Ja’s mother was a point guard in high school and a softball player in college.
Ja Morant and his younger sister, Teniya Morant, are Tee’s two children with his wife Jamie. Tee is thought to be aged 45 with his height at 6 feet 3 inches but his real DOB isn’t known. His net worth stands at $2 million while son Ja is worth $7 million.
Real Name: Temetrius Jamel Morant
In reality, Ray Allen’s high school partner at Hillcrest was Tee Morant. Following that, he enjoyed success in college and attended an NBA camp in Dallas.
He was informed that the camp was an opportunity for free agents to try out, but that organisations were only seeking players 6 feet 8 inches and taller.
Tee thought of playing basketball professionally abroad after playing semi-professionally. However, he gave up playing basketball and stayed at home, turning to become a barber after his partner Jamie became pregnant with Ja.
In recent years, Tee Morant has grown to be quite famous. He frequently attends Grizzlies home games to support Ja. Following a sideline encounter with LeBron James in December 2021, Tee gained fame:
He became even more well-known last season during the playoffs because of a wager he was making with Karl Anthony-Towns’ father.
The Grizzlies and Timberwolves’ first-round series winner had to wear the jersey of the other man’s son. After Memphis eliminated the T-Wolves from the playoffs, a video of the wager was captured:
