Ja Morant, the star of the Memphis Grizzlies, has a new agent. Plus, that’s a name you know.

The former NBA player Mike Miller owns Lift Sports Management, and he made the announcement that Morant has signed with them on Thursday morning. After his split from Jim Tanner earlier this month, he was in search of a new agency.

A video that Lift shared on social media was used to announce the move. The video was retweeted by Morant from his account.

In Memphis, Miller is well-known. After an 18-year NBA career that included two stints with the Grizzlies, he retired and joined Penny Hardaway’s Memphis coaching staff as an assistant coach. Prior to becoming a sports agent, he was Houston High School’s head coach.

After a season in which he hardly played for the Grizzlies in 2023–24, Morant is returning. Due to behavior that was damaging to the league, he was suspended for the first 25 games. After being cleared to play again in December, he only managed to play nine games before sustaining a shoulder injury that ended his season.

His full recuperation is anticipated before the 2024–25 season begins.
