The NBA has handed down an eight-game suspension to Ja Morant, the star player for the Memphis Grizzlies, for his behavior that was judged harmful to the league. After Morant received stress-management counseling in Florida, his suspension followed. The NBA player can play against the Dallas Mavericks on Monday.

However, Morant’s return has been overshadowed by the resurfacing of his old Instagram account from 2013. His account, with the username @soexclusive12_, contains a few selfies with captions that allude to drug use and getting high. It is alarming that Morant talked about such topics at the tender age of 12.

The photographs on Morant’s former Instagram account have caused a range of reactions on social media, even though it is typical for people to look back at their old photos and grimace. Some have criticized Morant for his past behavior and have made fun of his old photos, while others have expressed concern over the NBA player’s well-being.

Born on August 10, 1999, in Dalzell, South Carolina, Ja Morant’s parents, Tee and Jamie Morant were both athletes. Tee was even a high school teammate of the legendary basketball player Ray Allen. Morant spent his childhood in Sumter, South Carolina, and attended Crestwood High School, where he played basketball.

Morant relocated to Kentucky after graduating high school to play basketball for Murray State. He spent two seasons there before the Memphis Grizzlies selected him in the second round of the 2019 NBA Draft. He has since established himself as a vital member of the squad, thrilling both supporters and detractors with his prowess on the court.
