Ja Morant Addresses Memphis Tigers Exclusion Backlash

Ja Morant faced backlash after Nike launched the Ja 4s without including the Memphis Tigers. He addressed the situation on X, stating, "Shoes come from the team requesting. I don’t just pick. Teams get to choose out of all the Nike shoes. They went another route." Morant's time in Memphis included both on-court success and some controversies.
