Davonte Pack, a close friend of Grizzlies guard Ja Morant, has been arrested in connection with a July 26, 2022, incident at Morant’s house that has been the subject of civil litigation involving the two-time All-Star.
Pack, 24, was booked into Shelby County Jail on Wednesday on charges of misdemeanor assault.
Joshua Holloway, now 18, filed a lawsuit against Morant when he was 17, describing the NBA player and Pack of having struck him during a pickup game in Eads, an unincorporated Memphis suburb. The lawsuit claims Morant and Pack inflicted “assault, reckless endangerment, abuse or neglect, and infliction of emotional distress” on Holloway, and the two men were deposed in May 2023. According to an arrest warrant for Pack obtained by ESPN, Pack admitted to hitting Holloway during the deposition.
