Ja Morant shared a funny moment with LeBron James during the recent game against the Los Angeles Lakers.

The Memphis Grizzlies played against the Los Angeles Lakers in their recent game at Crypto.com Arena. Star player Ja Morant was sidelined due to a calf injury, but he still created a memorable moment from the sidelines when he was caught in a bizarre mid-game interaction with LeBron James.

During a moment in the game, James was near the sidelines, preparing to make a pass to his teammate. Meanwhile, Morant, who was standing on the sidelines, approached James from behind.

Morant rubbed his hand on James’s back, tugged at his jersey, and then placed his hand on his own chest, as if trying to absorb some of LeBron’s aura.


The video of this moment recently surfaced on social media platforms and quickly went viral.

Jake LaRavia made a notable impact on the court as well, contributing 26 points, four assists, and five rebounds. These strong efforts led the Lakers to a 120-114 victory over the Grizzlies. During the post-game interview, James revealed that he has played off the ball more than ever while sharing the court with Luka and Austin Reaves, which has sharpened his focus when he is on the ball.

“When your usage is a little bit down, you cannot afford to be turning the ball over a lot… you barely got the ball in your hand. So, I just make the most of it. I’ve turned the ball over a fair share in my career. It comes with the territory, having the ball in your hands,” James said.

The Lakers currently sit in third place in the Western Conference standings, with a record of 22 wins and 11 losses. Their next game will be against the New Orleans Pelicans at the Smoothie King Center
