Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant has had an incredible run over the past year.
Not only did he claim the NBA’s ‘Most Improved Player’ award in runaway fashion, but he also firmly established himself as one of the league’s biggest and brightest young talents.
In addition to making headlines on the court for his stellar play, Morant also made quite a few of them off the court. And it was more of the same this week.
It appears the young Grizzlies star may have his eye on tennis coach Haylei Snelson.
It would seem that Morant has been actively following Snelson on Instagram. His engagement speaks for itself:
It’s hard to blame Morant for his interest in Snelson’s Instagram posts. He is probably just a really big tennis fan.
Snelson boasts more than 35,000 followers on the platform and routinely goes viral for posts like this:

As for Morant, the young man is thriving. Not only did he allegedly snatch up Drake’s girlfriend a few months back, but he is also engaged in a fascinating war of words with the Golden State Warriors.
When the champs have their eye on you, you know you’re doing it big.
Aside from one awkward DM debacle, Morant is on an incredible hot streak. He even got the invite to Taylor Rooks’ exclusive birthday bash.
It will be interesting to see how long he can keep this momentum going.

The Grizzlies caught a lot of people off guard last year. That element of surprise won’t exist in 2022-23. Everyone will see them coming and prepare accordingly.
If Memphis can continue to build on last season’s run and enjoy that level of success or better, Morant will cement his place as one of the league’s absolute biggest superstars.
