Ja Morant has been one of the most impressive players in the NBA this year. Not only did he average 27.4 points, 6.7 assists and 5.7 rebounds per game this season – but he put his numbers up in a super-efficient way. The 22-year-old shot a career-high 49.4 percent from the field and 34.4 percent from beyond the arc.

Beyond just the individual accomplishments, Morant also led the Memphis Grizzlies to a 56-26 mark – good for second-place in the stacked Western Conference.

On the court, the sky’s the limit for the third-year star. Off the court? He’s thriving pretty spectacularly as well.

Morant is reportedly currently dating Drake’s former lady, Johanna Leia. The pair was originally linked back in late January.

This week, a report emerged suggesting that the pair is still going strong.

“Ja and Johanna are still going strong, but they still keep it on the low, for now at least,” a source told SideAction.com. “You can see that Ja still is still liking on her stuff on social media.”

The facts back that report up:

Leia initially went mega-viral back in 2021 when it was revealed that she was dating rapper Drake. Between that and her being prospect Amari Bailey’s mom, she quickly became a mainstay in the general sports cultural zeitgeist.

Now, with Morant apparently have taken her off Drake, she’s reaching even bigger levels of notoriety.

Aside from her romantic links, Leia also often goes viral for her standard Instagram posts which largely speak for themselves:

Obviously Morant isn’t the first young NBA star in recent months to fall for a much older woman.

Time will tell if this union will ultimately be as successful as that one.

For now, Morant is no doubt focused on making a splash in this year’s NBA playoffs.

But once that concludes, it will be interesting to see if he and Leia opt to go a little more public with their relationship than they have been up to this point.
