Is Ja Morant getting cancelled?

The recent social media buzz involving NBA star Ja Morant and the ongoing feud between rappers Drake and Kendrick Lamar sparked rumors of the NBA warning Morant to avoid entanglement in the music artists' conflict. 

However, this viral tweet suggesting such a warning turned out to be entirely false. The tweet, attributed to a parody account mimicking ESPN and NBA insider Adrian Wojnarowski, claimed that the NBA had advised Morant regarding the Drake and Lamar dispute, creating a storm of speculation among fans.

In reality, there was no legitimacy to this news and the NBA did not reach out to Ja Morant regarding the feud between the two renowned rappers.


Ja Morant, the Memphis Grizzlies guard, has been in the spotlight for reasons unrelated to the Drake and Kendrick Lamar beef. 

Struggling through a tumultuous season that included a suspension and a shoulder injury, Morant didn't receive any official warning from the NBA related to the rap feud. His challenging season involved significant personal and professional hurdles, from a suspension for social media behavior to a season-ending shoulder injury.

After a four-game absence attributed to personal issues, reports emerged suggesting Morant had entered a counseling program in Florida, adding an element of complexity and concern to his situation. 

Additionally, the team's coach, Taylor Jenkins, refrained from providing detailed comments on the matter during a recent game, indicating a deliberate and respectful approach to the sensitive nature of Morant's absence. 


As the Grizzlies are locked in a tight race for the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference, Morant’s probable return would be a lifesaver for them.
