Xavier Tillman, now an NBA champion, started his career in Memphis and spent three and a half seasons with the Grizzlies before being traded to Boston on February 7, 2024.

The Grizzlies are set to face the Celtics at the TD Garden on Saturday and the two teams only meet twice in the regular season. The bond Tillman has built with his former Memphis teammates extends even to their kids and they made sure to connect before Saturday's game.

While Morant and Dixon are no longer together, they are co-parenting their daughter Kaari, and Dixon still shares a relationship with him and his family. The two attended Murray State together and started dating in 2017, confirming their relationship a year later. They welcomed their daughter Kaari in 2019 but the relationship ended last year.

Dixon is an entrepreneur and runs Dixon Brands LLC. She is also the creator of an activity book for children which was inspired by her experiences with Kaari.

Like Morant and Dixon, Tamia and Xavier Tillman started dating while in college. The Tillmans got married in 2020 and have three children: Ayanna (8), born in 2016; Xavier Jr. (4), born in 2020; and Leilani (2), born in 2022.

Tillman was drafted 35th overall in 2020, by the Sacramento Kings but was immediately traded to the Grizzlies. He won his first NBA championship with the Celtics earlier this year.
