Ja Morant: 50 point game| Contract extension| Baby mama

50 point game:

On Monday night, Morant put in one of the performances of the NBA season, contributing highlight after highlight in the Memphis Grizzlies’ 118-105 win over the San Antonio Spurs.

In his 34 minutes on the floor, the point-guard dunked over a seven-foot defender, hit an incredible buzzer-beater and had enough time to set a new franchise record for points, a record he broke just two days before.

Morant finished with 52 points — surpassing the 46 points he initially broke the record with just two days earlier — on 22-of-30 shooting.

Contract Extension:

Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich — who, as a result of Morant’s remarkable performance, remains one game short of equaling Don Nelson’s record for the most regular-season wins by an NBA coach — was full of praise for the 22-year-old.

“He’s a beautiful player,” Popovich told the media. “What else can you say about him? It’s not just that he’s athletic. Everybody says: ‘He’s athletic.’ Somebody says: ‘He’s a freak of nature’ because he’s so fast… But he makes decisions. He knows what is going on on the court.

Baby Mama:

KK Dixon is a 21-year-old girl who attends Fisk University. As reported, Dixon seems to play volleyball and Basketball at the university. The couple welcomed a baby girl in 2019 named Kaari Jaidyn Morant.

Ja Morant and his baby mama have been through a lot. Morant’s girlfriend KK Dixon delivered 8 weeks early due to preeclampsia.  Around her 31st week of pregnancy, KK developed preeclampsia, suffered convulsive seizures, underwent emergency delivery, and almost died from a condition she had never heard of.

Everything turned out fine with the baby and KK, as their daughter is now a little over year old. Unfortunately it looks like Ja and KK have broken things off, as they no longer follow each other on Instagram.
