Nike Stays with Ja Morant Despite NBA Suspension

Nike has decided to support Ja Morant, even after he received a lengthy suspension from the NBA for the upcoming 2023-24 season. Morant’s suspension came as a result of off-the-court behavior, including videos involving guns that raised concerns.

Despite the suspension, Nike is standing by Morant. In a statement, they expressed their satisfaction that Morant is taking responsibility for his actions and prioritizing his well-being. Nike assured that they will continue to support him both in his basketball career and his personal life.

Here is the Statement from Nike:

“We are pleased that Ja is taking accountability and prioritizing his well-being. We will continue to support him on and off the court.”

Morant had his own signature shoe, called the Nike Ja 1, released last season. He has been associated with Nike since 2019, and he was drafted as the second overall pick in the NBA Draft.

Morant has acknowledged his mistakes and has committed to making improvements following his suspension.
