For years, Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant has been all over the news. Whether it’s because of his stellar play and poster dunks or his issues off the court, Morant has been a regular presence in the headlines.
Nevertheless, there has been little to no coverage of his recent philanthropy move. Apparently, the former No. 2 pick spent $3.6 million to transform houses into shelters for homeless youth in Tennessee.
Notably, that’s why former Washington Wizards big man and Michael Jordan’s former teammate Etan Thomas made sure to spread the news, posting the report on his Instagram account and encouraging people to give Morant his flowers.
“Let’s focus on the positive things about Ja Morant,” Thomas wrote.
Morant has drawn plenty of backlash for his gun-related incidents and celebrations, and he’s also been suspended and fined multiple times because of that.
