New details around allegations against Ja Morant emerged that paint an unpleasant picture of the Memphis Grizzlies star guard.

A Washington Post article from Thursday documented a timeline of alleged events from the summer of 2022 that included interviews with two people affected by Morant's purported actions. The article also described how Memphis police appeared to mishandle three reports by misrepresenting or failing to identify alleged suspects and witnesses at the scene of various alleged incidents that either reportedly included Morant, his family or his associates.

Accounts of Morant's off-court activities have already been reported this year: There was an alleged assault on a teenager during a pickup basketball game, an alleged verbal altercation at a shoe store, a reported postgame confrontation between Morant's friends and Indiana Pacers staffers and then the incident at a Denver-area strip club where Morant flashed a gun on Instagram Live that resulted in an eight-game suspension for the guard.
