Ja Morant Calls Report Of Postgame Altercation With Pacers ‘Pretty Much False’

Ja Morant is minimizing reports that he and his good friends entered an altercation with Indiana Pacers staff member after a video game last month … stating the story is essentially phony news.

The Memphis Grizzlies star talked with the media on Tuesday — the very first time because The Athletic launched a report declaring Morant’s good friends faced “members of the Pacers traveling party” near the group’s bus following a match at FedEx Forum on Jan. 29.

The report likewise mentioned somebody in an SUV, which Morant remained in, pointed a red laser at them … and the Pacers staff member think it was connected to a weapon.

The 23-year-old rejected the accusations when he talked with press reporters at practice … stating, “All that stuff pretty much false.”

“It’s been proven. That’s all I got to say on it.”

Morant highlighted how he does not appreciate the reports walking around … and he will not amuse a report that’s fishing for “likes and clicks.”

“At this point in my life, I’m protecting my energy,” Morant stated. “Not responding to nobody else. Not entertaining nobody else.”

The press reporters tried to get more from Morant on the circumstance … however he declined.

He did offer one upgrade from that video game, though … tweeting on Sunday that his pal, Davonte Pack, has actually been prohibited from house video games after a spoken altercation with Pacers gamers.
