Ja Morant shares close bond with his daughter

Ja Morant's character has been in question a lot in the past year, but there is no denying he is a caring father. His daughter has been by his side through every step of his NBA journey.

At most Memphis Grizzlies home games, Kaari Morant is courtside cheering on her father. She's a common fixture in his postgame interviews, and has even snuck on the court to celebrate with the whole team on some occasions.

One of the more heartfelt moments between the two came when Kaari was still an infant. Morant celebrated with her after securing the first accolade of his career.

After being drafted second overall by the Memphis Grizzlies in 2019, the explosive guard quickly made an impact. In his first season, he put up averages of 17.8 points, 3.9 rebounds and 7.3 assists. These numbers secured him the Rookie of the Year award. Morant would have won be unanimous decision, but one voter picked Zion Williamson over him.

When Morant won the award, a clip went viral of him and his duaghter celebrating together.

Even at a young age, being a parent is something Morant takes pride in. Based on how Kaari is always close by, it's clear he enjoys getting to share his basketball journey with her.

Unfortunately for Morant, it will be some time before he gets to showcase his skills in front of his daughter again. The All-Star guard is currently facing a 25-game suspension that begins at the start of this season.
