The Takeaway
Ja Morant’s court win is a reminder that even in the high-stakes world of professional sports, justice can be served.
Let’s dive deeper into the details and explore what this means for Morant’s career and beyond.
The Memphis Grizzlies have lately been hit with the unfortunate reality of two high-profile lawsuits involving their best players, which is something no club wants to hear.
On the floor, 26-year-old point guard Ja Morant is one of the most dynamic players in the NBA, but he still struggles off the court.
After guiding the Grizzlies to two of their greatest seasons ever and being considered for NBA MVP, Morant allegedly punched a teenager and showed off his gun collection on Instagram live streams.
In 2022, Morant was accused of punching a teenager during a pickup basketball game in Memphis, as the teenager ultimately filed a lawsuit against Morant. In April, the judge dropped the case, ruling that Morant was acting in self-defense, and the Grizzlies star stayed out of legal trouble.
A new lawsuit settles
However, Morant’s lawsuits did not stop there. This time, though, it was Morant as the plaintiff. On Friday, Morant was reportedly awarded $300,000 in damages and interest after the NBA star sued a Memphis restaurant, The Wing Guru, for breaching their contract.
“A Shelby County Chancery Court has ordered Memphis restaurant The Wing Guru to pay the Grizzlies’ Ja Morant over $300,000 in damages and interest after the All-Star point guard sued them for breach of contract
Morant claimed that he and The Wing Guru had an agreement for him to promote the Memphis restaurant, but continued to use his name, image, and likeness even after they stopped paying him.
FOX13 previously reported that Morant had agreed to a contract to promote the business some years ago, but later sued after the restaurant stopped paying him while continuing to use his name, image, and likeness to promote their food.
Morant’s lawyer said the Wing Guru responded to their claims on Instagram, claiming that they would receive the full $75,000 they were owed, but Morant claimed he never received that money.”
It is certainly a relief for the Grizzlies franchise and the NBA front office to see Morant on the right side of a legal issue after his previous problems.
“The case went to an arbitrator, who sided with Morant, ordering the restaurant to stop using his likeness and pay $300,000 in compensation and damages plus interest, and another $65,000 in interest and legal costs. The business had until late November 2024 to either try to get the case thrown out or pay, but Morant’s lawyers said neither happened.”
