NBA 17-year-old explains how Ja Morant and his friends beat him

17-Year-Old Explains to authorities how Ja Morant and his friends assaulted him on video. Ja Morant has had a number of legal issues in recent years, and many rumors about his bad behavior surfaced after he was prominently featured in the Colorado gun debate a few weeks ago. He was also charged with assaulting a 17-year-old boy, and bodycam footage shows the young man telling police about it. When things became too heated, the player decided to get physical with the teen. This young man claimed to be "competitive" with Ja, trash-talking the Memphis Grizzlies star. Ja and his friends jumped the boy even when he tried to defend himself. He'd even asked his pals if he should hit the accuser After listening and gathering more information, the cops can be seen in the video discussing their options. Several of them couldn't believe the youngster was actually referring to Ja Morant, but it happened.
