Police investigated NBA superstar Ja Morant in separate cases of threatening a mall cop and assaulting a teenager last July but did not charge Morant in either case, according to a report released Wednesday.
Morant, the 23-year-old Memphis Grizzlies All-Star, was questioned by investigators after both incidents, the Washington Post reported.
The fight with a 17-year-old boy at Morant’s Memphis home was first reported by TMZ in January. That report centered on a civil lawsuit filed by the teen’s mother, but the criminal investigation was not public knowledge until Wednesday’s Washington Post report.
