The basketball world is rallying around Memphis Grizzlies superstar Ja Morant after shocking news emerged that the 25-year-old guard is set to begin dialysis treatment due to reported kidney complications.
According to sources close to the Grizzlies organization, Morant has been quietly battling a serious health issue over the past few weeks. Medical evaluations revealed kidney problems severe enough to require dialysis — a treatment typically used to help patients whose kidneys are no longer functioning properly.
The news has stunned fans, teammates, and fellow NBA players, as Morant was expected to be a central figure in Memphis’ future. The Grizzlies released a brief statement late Monday:
“Our thoughts and prayers are with Ja Morant and his family as he faces this difficult health battle. The entire Grizzlies organization stands with him and will provide unwavering support throughout his treatment.”
Social media has been flooded with messages of support from NBA stars and fans around the globe, all using hashtags like #PrayForJa and #StayStrongJa as they await further updates on his condition.
Morant, known for his electric play and fearless style, has already faced adversity throughout his career, but this challenge is unlike any he has encountered on the court.
More details regarding his treatment plan and potential recovery timeline are expected to be released later this week.
For now, the NBA family is united in sending love, prayers, and strength to Ja Morant as he prepares to fight through this health crisis.
