In a video that went viral quickly on social media, Morant can be seen entering a nightclub and partying all night. He even brought a lot of cash and made it rain.

One fan went on to defend Morant, explaining that there's nothing wrong with spending time at a club:

"Y'all act like he not a kid and can’t have fun. He's not on a championship-contending team. He's not top 10 yet he's young, let him live and turn up and stop blaming NBA YoungBoy for his problems."

The Memphis Grizzlies prepared for life without Ja Morant for the first 25 games of next season by acquiring Marcus Smart from the Boston Celtics. The Grizzlies also signed Derrick Rose in free agency, possibly as a backup point guard and a veteran presence in the locker room.

NBA analyst Dan Devine explained on the "No Cap" podcast that media members in Memphis are happy that the team signed Rose. They reckon Morant might be willing to listen to someone like Rose, who has been through it all in the NBA.

"I talked to some people in Memphis media that were like, 'If there's somebody that Ja's gonna maybe like listen to, it's him,'" Devine said.
