The local media ESPN reported on the 10th (Korea Standard Time) that "a Tennessee judge has acknowledged the self-defense of Morant, who is accused of assaulting a teenage boy."
Morant received a court subpoena for beating Joshua Holloway during a pickup game at his home in Tennessee in July 2022. Holloway threw a ball at Morant's chin in repeated losses, which an enraged Morant punched him. Morant's acquaintance Davonte Pack also hit Holloway, who was arrested for assault. The charges against Pack were later dismissed.
Morant left no comment on the matter at the time of the subpoena. His team, the Memphis Grizzlies, also declined to comment. Morant was willing to speak out through a trial and was granted self-defense. 사설 토토사이트
However, it could be the beginning of a long battle. Rebecca Adelman, defending Holloway, told ESPN: "We are disappointed with the outcome. We will do whatever is necessary to protect and defend Holloway."
Meanwhile, Morant was banned for 25 games last year due to controversy over his gun possession. He returned to the mound at an away game against the New Orleans Pelicans on Dec. 20 last year and averaged 25.1 points, 1.6 3-pointers, 5.6 rebounds, and 8.1 assists in nine games. He also made highlight films by dunking over Victor Wembanyama of San Antonio.
Memphis had six wins and three losses in the nine games Morant played, which seemed to be in the middle of the standings in earnest but encountered an unexpected variable on Jan. 9. Morant was ruled out for the season due to a ruptured hip joint in his right shoulder. Morant is on an operating table and is undergoing rehabilitation to play in the opening game of the 2024-2025 season. Memphis, which ranked second in the Western Conference for the last two consecutive seasons, is ranking 13th (27-51) due to the absence of Morant.
