A lawsuit accusing Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant of punching a teenager during a pickup basketball game has been dismissed by a judge in Tennessee.
The suit stems from a July 2022 incident in which a group of teenagers were invited to play pickup basketball at Morant's parents' home in Memphis. During the game, Joshua Holloway—then age 17—is said to have "aggressively threw [a] basketball at [Morant] with a one-handed, baseball-style pass that hit him in the face." Morant allegedly retaliated by punching Holloway in the face.
