The Memphis Grizzlies took on the Philadelphia 76ers recently and Ja Morant certainly wasn’t at his best. Morant seemed distracted during the game and ended up scoring only 15 points. Interestingly enough, some fans on Twitter have pointed out a bizarre reason for Ja failing to reach his usual potential during the game. A viral picture of Morant and a female fan mid-game is currently doing the rounds of the internet and fans have chimed in with their thoughts on the issue.

Ever since Morant declared his name for the NBA draft, his private life has been a matter of numerous debates. Interestingly, some reports from last year revealed that Morant was apparently dating one of Drake’s ex-girlfriends. As the Grizzlies star catches the headlines once again, NBA fans on Twitter have left no stone unturned to roast him.

Fans chime in as Ja Morant seemed to be distracted by a female fan

Two-time NBA All-Star Ja Morant is one of the most popular athletes in the league. Along with insane dunks and entertaining passes on the court, Morant also indulges in a lot of off-court shenanigans which make him all the more popular. However, this has also landed him in trouble in the past. For instance, Morant’s friend was banned from the Indiana Pacers arena recently after reports of unruly behavior with the staff.
