Ja Morant's ex KK Dixon has affectionate exchange with his sister Niya in Instagram comments

While Ja Morant and KK Dixon split in 2023, it appears she still has a close connection to his family. She recently shared a heartfelt exchange on social media with the All-Star guard's sister.

Morant and Dixon first met back in 2017 while they both attended Murray State for college. The two would end up making things official a year later, and dated for roughly five years. At that time, Morant and Dixon welcomed their daughter Kaari into the world. While the two have split up, they still co-parent the child together.

Earlier this week, Dixon posted a series of photos on her Instagram. Among those to be active on the post was Ja Morant's sister Niya. The exchange between these two was brief, as they only used emojis.

Aside from her relationship with the Memphis Grizzlies star, Dixon has made a name for herself as a business owner. Her primary venture is running her company "Dixon Brands LLC." However, she is also an author. Dixon made a children's activity book that is inspired by her daughter. "Kaari & Kree's Ultimate Coloring & Activity Book" can be purchased on Amazon for $9.99.

As for Morant, he just started his sixth season in the NBA. The former No. 2 pick is looking to have a bounce-back year after missing extended time in 2024 due to injury and suspensions.

Ja Morant's ex KK Dixon still supports the Memphis Grizzlies star

Even though Ja Morant and KK Dixon are no longer together, she still supports him in his NBA career. Earlier this month, she re-posted his commercial with Nike advertising his latest signature shoe.

It's no secret that Morant has had some problems off the court over the past two years. There was the incident where a fight broke out at his house during a pick-up game, and his incidents holding a firearm on social media. Instead of shying away from this, Nike leaned into it with their latest ad.

In the commercial for Ja Morant's signature shoe, overcoming adversity is the main theme. The All-Star guard talks about always getting back up no matter what life throws at him.

Numerous members of Morant's family appear in the commercial, including his daughter Kaari. This is what warranted Dixon to put the video on her Instagram story.

The "Ja 2" hit the shelves at the beginning of October, and can be purchased on Nike's website. There are multiple colorways available, with prices ranging from $120 to $130. Morant has been with Nike since 2019, signing a deal just before he was drafted by the Grizzlies.
