Grizzlies’ Ja Morant: Received 7th undergo Drug Test request from the NBA
Memphis guard Ja Morant has another monster season that will likely get him his second straight All-Star honor. Morant has become the example of a human highlight reel as he ascends towards extremely famous, with his wide kind of posterizing dunks and other jaw-dropping plays. According to the former Rookie, one of the negative consequences of his good play is his clear increase in random drug test requests from the NBA. “Been drug tested like six times this season,” NBA All-Star said on Twitter.
Ja Morant led the Memphis to a 30-point blowout victory over the Phoenix Suns on Monday, finishing with twenty-nine points and seven assists. The Murray State product is averaging career-high points (27.5) and (7.9) from assists per game. At the same time, matching his career-best mark from last year in rebounds per game is (5.7).
Also, He played in 36 of the team’s and 43 games thus far and is one of the main reasons Memphis Grizzlies (30-13) are on a 10th-game winning straight that has put them into a 1st-place tie with the Nuggets in the top in the Western Conference. Ja Morant won 2 consecutive Player of the Week in the western conference awards to begin in January and leads the team in scoring and assists by a large difference.
The former Number 2 overall pick is far from the first professional player to complain about their league’s random drug tests and surely won’t be the last. Among the recent star players to take to social media and vent about drug test policies are the recently retired J.J. Watt and New England Patriots defensive end Matthew Judon.
