«WHAT IS YOUR occupation?» a lawyer by the name of Keenan Carter asked. «I play professional basketball for the Memphis Grizzlies,» Ja Morant replied.
It was 1:45 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 11, and Morant was testifying from the witness stand in the century-old Shelby County Courthouse in downtown Memphis.
Wearing a black jacket and a white shirt, Morant faced a wood-paneled wall lined with portraits of robed judges while sitting next to the one presiding over a lawsuit accusing him of assaulting Joshua Holloway, then 17, in July 2022.
Less than a mile away — but practically a world away — was FedExForum, where, in better times, Morant's occupation would be on display.
