Ja Morant, a star for the Memphis Grizzlies, shares an extraordinary connection with his daughter.
Following Wednesday’s team’s game, the official NBA Instagram posted a touching video that featured Morant’s 3-year-old daughter Kaari Jaidyn rushing into his arms as he approached her courtside.
The toddler grins endearingly as her father embraces and carries her while inquiring, “Did Daddy do good?”
She grins and enthusiastically nods. He queries, “Can daddy get a high five?” She responds with great enthusiasm.
Subsequently, while Kaari holds a Grizzlies blanket close to her, he appears to be conveying to her in silence what will occur next.
NBA ascribed the caption “Postgame love for dad ” above the endearing video.
Additionally, the point guard, who is 23 years old, documented moments from their courtside conversation on Instagram. In them, he expressed his deepest gratitude to Kaari, with whom he shares an ex-boyfriend in KK Dixon.
He captioned the collection of photographs, “Kaari, you are the SOLE reason your father is still going,” adding, “You are too young to comprehend, but yeah I LOVE YOU .”
Morant documented tender father-daughter moments in May, including a photograph of Kaari mid-jumping as she launched the ball while playing basketball with a miniature toddler hoop.
