Following the suspensions served by Ja Morant in recent months, logic would have dictated that the Grizzlies should hold their ground more. And yet, the recent meeting against the Kings gave rise to a controversial sequence linked… to Kaari Morant, 4 years old.

Fans of Ja Morant and the Grizzlies know her well, she is used to attending her father’s and the franchise’s games and attracting the spotlight. Kaari Morant has already often been talked about, notably during the various post-match interviews with her father in which she happens to participate. However, in recent hours, it is for a completely different reason that his name has created a buzz on social networks.

The shocking attitude of the Grizzlies mascot in front of Kaari Morant
In difficulty at the end of 2023, the Grizzlies put an end to it with a scathing slap received at home, against the Kings (92-123). A match during which Ja Morant did not necessarily stand out because of his clumsiness (4/12 shooting, 17 points scored). His young daughter witnessed a questionable spectacle during one of the game’s timeouts, offered by the team’s mascot, “Grizz”:

To entertain the FedExForum audience during this interlude, Grizz found nothing better… than to offer them a striptease as well as a twerk sequence. All this, right in front of the 4-year-old girl, whose attendant was quick to block her view. This scene obviously went viral afterwards and outraged many Internet users, who shared their reactions:

Disgusting tbh

It makes no sense. I expected nothing less from the Grizzlies

Accustomed to making headlines because of Ja Morant for several months, the Grizzlies have this time hit the headlines alone. And like a twist of fate, it was the young Kaari Morant who found herself unwillingly at the heart of this controversy.
