Here’s a look at Ja dawning his brand-new facial accessory:

Morant isn’t exactly a darling among NBA fans at the moment, and his reputation took another hit amid his involvement in his most recent scandal. The Grizzlies star allegedly flashed a gun at a 17-year-old boy after punching him in the face multiple times. He’s now facing a lawsuit amid charges of assault of a minor β allegations that Morant’s camp has vehemently denied.
The mean streets of Twitter decided to let their true feelings known about Morant and his new face mask. As you may have guessed, most of the savage jokes referenced his current legal battle:

While some of these tweets might be funny, the allegations Morant is facing are no laughing matter. There have been no significant developments yet after news of the lawsuit broke, but we will be sure to pass along any new information as they come.
As for his facial injury, it doesn’t seem like it’s going to bother the Grizzlies superstar. Morant looked like his old self on the court against the Nuggets as Memphis looks to close the gap on Nikola Jokic and Co. The Nuggets enter this game with a 44-19 record and are currently sitting atop the Western Conference. The Grizzlies are 38-23 and are five games behind Denver at second.
