Morant files motion to dismiss pickup game lawsuit
In the latest round of depositions filed, Ja Morant’s father, Tee Morant, testified that the Morant family chose to report threats made by Joshua Holloway 13 days after the fight because Ja Morant had since received subsequent threats on social media. (Daily Memphian file)
In additional Shelby County Circuit Court filings, Ja Morant’s father and additional witnesses provide further accounts of the fight that occurred between the Memphis Grizzlies star and a local high school basketball player during a pickup game last summer.
