Ja Morant signs jersey for kid he called 'disrespectful' for repping Steph Curry

Ja Morant made good on his promise.

Before Monday, the last time the Warriors played the Grizzlies was on Jan. 11. That evening, Morant made a jaw-dropping play that had FedEx Forum rocking, including a young fan in a Steph Curry Warriors jersey who wanted a high five. Only Morant left the youngster hanging.


After the game, Ja told reporters the kid was “disrespectful” for repping Curry in Memphis and that he wanted to send the kid a jersey. On Monday night, the Grizzlies brought the young fans down courtside before the game and had them meet Morant. This time around, the kid had a No. 12 Morant jersey and he was glad to sign it for him.

Morant is known for being fiercely loyal to the Grizzlies franchise, who drafted him in 2019. He was out Monday night as he dealt with a knee injury but, with the 123-95 win Monday, the Grizzlies are somehow 18-2 in the games that Morant has missed this season.

The Warriors, meanwhile, are 3-9 in the 12 games Curry has missed this season with Monday’s loss.
