A close friend of Memphis Grizzlies All-Star point guard Ja Morant was arrested on Wednesday.
Morant’s close friend was reportedly arrested by police on civil charges.
ESPN first reported the news.
“Tennessee law enforcement on Wednesday arrested Davonte Pack, a longtime close friend of Memphis Grizzlies star guard Ja Morant, for misdemeanor assault for hitting a teenager at Morant’s house last summer, an altercation that has ensnared Morant and those close to him in an ongoing civil lawsuit,” ESPN reported on Wednesday.
“The incident took place at Morant’s residence in Eads, a suburb outside Memphis, on July 26, 2022. In a statement to authorities, Morant admitted to hitting Joshua Holloway, then 17, during a pickup game, though Morant later claimed self-defense, arguing that Holloway checked the ball hard at his face.”
Morant will be suspended for the start of the 2023-24 NBA regular season.
The former Murray State star is electric on the court, but he’s dealt with a number of problems off the court.
It will be interesting to see if Morant is able to improve his standing within the league moving forward.
