Tee Morant, the father of Ja Morant, has gotten really honest about his son’s situation with the NBA, holding the point guard accountable while speaking to kids at the Up Next Elite Camp in New Orleans.
Morant will miss a third of the upcoming NBA season following a second suspension stemming from gun-related videos on social media.
Tee has received a lot of criticism for Ja’s antics as he’s viewed as an enabler by people in the media. But, speaking to campers, he used his son as an example as he told them to “be mindful of every decision you make.”
He also refused to blame Ja’s company for the trouble he’s gotten into, admitting the Memphis Grizzlies star is the only one responsible.
“My son didn’t get in trouble for people around him — he got in trouble for his decisions,” he said. “So always be mindful of every decision y’all make, because it can pretty much take over you and consume you and make you think that you’re who you’re not. … I’m just telling y’all, just make the right decisions, alright?”
Morant’s first suspension was handed down after he brandished a pistol while at a Denver strip joint in an Instagram Live video. He returned to the Grizzlies to end the season but, 10 weeks later, he was seen flashing a gun in another IG Live clip.
