Everybody’s family is highly significant in their lives. However, given the temptations and vices that come with the job, one might argue that professional athletes require a better support network. Ja Morant, the superstar of the Memphis Grizzlies, is no exception. Despite his recent run-ins with the authorities, Morant has always had a close relationship with his family. It’s my family,” Morant said in an interview. They arrived on the first day. I keep them near to me.

Unfortunately, Ja Morant recently lost one of his closest family members in a heartbreaking situation. With the remark, “This ain’t right dawg,” he shared a moving remembrance of his late aunt Carol H. Morant on Instagram. RIP, aunt. Life long, Trey. I adore you all.

Ja has lost one of his role models in 2017, so Aunt Carol is not the first close relative he has lost. Ja Morant lost his close friend and cousin Trey Beverly on October 11, 2017, as a result of injuries he sustained in a motorbike accident. In a 2019 interview, Morant spoke about his friendship with Trey. Someone I sort of looked up to,” he said. He was the one member of the family that always made things exciting and kept everyone together.


At the end of his interview with ESPN’s Maria Taylor, Ja Morant paid respect to Trey after the Memphis Grizzlies selected him with the second overall choice in the 2019 NBA Draft. He said, “Live Long Trey.” Ja Morant and his family have always had a close relationship. But the person who has influenced his basketball career the most is his father, Tee Morant.
