Ja Morant’s family has been a steadfast source of support for the Memphis Grizzlies superstar throughout his career. His father, Tee Morant, is frequently spotted courtside, cheering his son on in person and showing unwavering encouragement.

However, the 23-year-old star has recently been surrounded by controversy. As a result, the Grizzlies announced that Morant would be away from the team for at least two games following a suspension tied to a controversial Instagram video in which he displayed a gun.

With the spotlight on Morant’s off-court actions, it’s worth exploring his family and the close relationships that have shaped his journey.

Tee Morant, often described as his son’s biggest fan, has a strong basketball background himself. He played high school basketball at Hillcrest, where he was teammates with Ray Allen, a two-time NBA champion.

The Morant family also includes another rising basketball talent. Ja’s 18-year-old sister, Teniya Morant, is making a name for herself as a player for the Houston Mustangs.

With basketball running deep in the family, the Morants continue to inspire one another through their shared passion for the game.
