"Self-defense"
Teenager beaten to the ground: Morant acquitted
NBA professional Ja Morant has been acquitted of claims for damages by a court in Tennessee. The Memphis Grizzlies basketball player had been sued by a teenager following an altercation on the sidelines of a private basketball game on Morant's property in July 2022, during which the then 17-year-old plaintiff was knocked to the ground.

Morant has been the focus of several investigations in recent years. The NBA suspended him for 25 games this season because he repeatedly handled a weapon in public. The Grizzlies no longer have a chance of making the NBA playoffs this season and are in 13th place in the Western Conference.
