Taylor Jenkins: Ja Morant has been “unbelievable” through suspension Jenkins spoke about Ja Morant’s, which could come on Dec. 19. The hearing for the civil case related to an incident in which Ja Morant punched a teen continued Tuesday morning in Shelby County Circuit Court. Morant’s father, Tee, finished his testimony after beginning on Monday. Devonte Pack, Ja Morant’s close friend, also testified on Tuesday. Joshua Holloway, the teenager Morant punched and who filed the lawsuit, was set to testify but did not. On Monday, Ja Morant spent hours walking attorneys through the July 2022 incident that occurred during a pickup basketball game at his home in Eads. Morant said he punched Holloway after Holloway threw a basketball at him in a threatening way during a “check ball.” Morant performed check ball demonstrations with both his and Holloway’s attorneys. The self-defense immunity hearing is slated to take place through Wednesday, and multiple people who were at Morant’s house the day of the altercation have also been subpoenaed, including Pack, Morant’s co-defendant in the case; Mike Miller; Trey Draper; and deputies from the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office. Criminal charges in the case were filed against Pack after Holloway’s attorney, Rebecca Adelman, filed a deposition in which Pack admitted to hitting Holloway after Morant did. Other depositions described Morant’s punch as a glancing blow, but Holloway is said to have fallen down after Pack’s punch. Pack’s criminal case was dismissed Nov. 21, and Morant was never criminally charged in relation to the incident. The hearing comes about a week before Morant is scheduled to return from his 25-game suspension. He is eligible to return Dec. 19 in New Orleans, and Memphis Grizzlies coach Taylor Jenkins said Friday that he expects Morant to be “full go” for that game.

Pack completed a semester of his MBA, but returned to Memphis in early 2022 since he was not eligible to play basketball in college anymore.”We developed a bond because we are similar,” Pack said of growing close to Ja Morant. Pack says after he graduated college, he took basketball as a way to get “cardio and a good sweat in” and as a way to “be with family.”…
