Judge Makes Ruling in Ja Morant Lawsuit

Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant was involved in a physical altercation with teenager Joshua Holloway in July of last year, but a recent judge ruling said Morant's lawyers can proceed for now with their self-defense argument. The news of this ruling was reported by Adrian Sainz of the Associated Press.

This incident has been well documented since its occurrence first hit the news, and from what has been publicly reported, it sounds as if Morant has maintained his self-defense argument the entire time. As Sainz added, Morant’s lawyers acknowledge that the Grizzlies star did punch Holloway once, but this came after the teen threw a ball at Morant's face, which resulted in the self-defense response.

It's important to note that no criminal charges have been filed against Morant, as this latest development is from the lawsuit against the Grizzlies star. It will be interesting to see what comes of this situation, but as of right now, the latest judge ruling is that Morant's lawyers can proceed for now with their self-defense argument.

Morant will begin the 2023-24 NBA season suspended due to his second gun video incident that occurred just months after his first one. The league is hopeful that Morant's 25-game suspension will give him the opportunity to take a break from basketball and focus on getting his mind right and correcting his behavior.
