Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant and his agent Jim Tanner have parted ways, according to NBA insider Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN. Tanner has represented Morant since the player came out of Murray State and was selected with the second overall pick in the 2019 NBA Draft.
Morant has played just nine games this season. He averaged 25.1 points, 5.6 rebounds, 8.1 assists, 0.8 steals, shooting 47.1 percent from the field, 27.5 percent from beyond the arc and 81 percent. .3% from the free throw line. The point guard missed the first 25 games of the season due to a suspension, which came after he showed a gun on Instagram in May (for the second time in the space of a few months). After returning from the break, he got injured and had surgery on his right shoulder in January.
Morant will be ready for the start of next season. Memphis extended his contract with a five-year, $197 million deal in July 2022. He has career averages of 22.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, 7.4 assists, 1.0 steals. He will earn $36.7 million next season.
