Tee Morant, the father of Grizzlies star Ja Morant, offered a candid perspective on his son’s off-court troubles on Saturday while speaking to a group of youth basketball players in New Orleans.
The elder Morant, who also coached the 24-year-old guard growing up, imparted a few words of wisdom for campers at the Up Next Elite Camp, where he was reportedly asked during his visit how to handle when people are talking about you.
Morant began his speech by saying he was “speaking for my son” before stressing the importance of making the right decisions and being mindful of your surroundings at all times.
