Ja Morant reappears alongside Victor Wembanyama

He remained very sober when going to clap the hands of the players of his young team. Ja Morant was in New York this weekend for the Nike World Basketball Festivala two-day event that brings together some of the best high school students in the world in a tournament.

The Grizzlies leader was named honorary captain of one of the two teams, along with Victor Wembanyama. The team opposite had captains Kevin Durant And Devin Booker. Dirk Nowitzki, Scottie Pippen, Sue Bird and Sheryl Swoopes were also seen at the event.

It was the Memphis superstar’s first public appearance since the league announced his suspension in mid-June. We recall that he received a 25-match suspension for brandishing a firearm a second time on social networks.

Despite the announcement of this sanction, he retained the support of his equipment supplier, Nike. The comma brand declared that it appreciated that “ Ja takes responsibility and prioritizes her well-being. We will continue to support him on and off the field. »

The leader’s extra-sporting setbacks still had consequences on the chaotic release of the Ja 1. Nike first withdrew its model from the market, before putting Ja Morant’s first signature shoe back in its catalog in in the heart of summer.
