The Memphis Grizzlies and Minnesota Timberwolves played Game 5 of their playoff series on Tuesday night, and the 43-year-old R&B artist was present. For fans who had already spotted the likeness, the musician’s seating courtside alongside Grizzlies player Ja Morant’s father, Tee Morant, was an enjoyable surprise.

For the game, Usher and Tee even matched outfits, donning sunglasses, a chain necklace, and a black t-shirt.
The arena made fun of the situation during their “Lookalike Cam” segment during a break.

Before Tee was shown seated in the stands, a picture of Usher was displayed on the jumbotron. Then, as the two of them laughed together, the camera turned across to Usher, who was sitting next to him. Cheers erupted around the arena.
After a picture of Tee went viral earlier this month, drawing comparisons between the two, Usher attended Game 5. During the Grizzlies’ home game on April 16, a fan tweeted a picture of Tee and said, “Not me thinking Ja’s dad was Usher.”

One said, “I’m glad I wasn’t the only one.” One more person wrote, “I’ve been thinking that was Usher for the last hour.”


Following that, Usher tweeted, saying he “Had to See What the Hype was about .” In addition, Tee shared a picture of their courtside encounter and referred to the “Yeah” singer as his twin.
The Grizzlies now lead the series 3-2 after defeating the Timberwolves 111-109 on Tuesday night.

After finishing the third quarter with a highlight dunk, Ja, who was recently awarded the NBA’s most improved player, scored eighteen points in the fourth quarter alone, helping the club mount a significant comeback. He had 30 points, 13 rebounds, 9 assists, and 3 steals at the end of the game.

Following the game, Grizzlies coach Taylor Jenkins praised the player, saying, “He was huge.” “All he could do was smile. “I made a million shots like that.” ‘You’re going to make the next one,’ I said. Simply keep firing and assaulting. The exciting aspect of playing basketball in the playoffs is that you never know how you’re going to win. You simply keep making progress. Continue to have faith in it. He clearly had an outstanding fourth quarter.”

The Minnesota Timberwolves and Memphis Grizzlies will play Game 6 at Target Center on Friday.
