NBA Fans React To Ja Morant’s Appearance At Liberty-Fever Game
Ja Morant, the electrifying Memphis Grizzlies guard, caused a stir over the weekend after being spotted courtside at the WNBA matchup between the New York Liberty and Indiana Fever. The game, featuring rising stars like Caitlin Clark and Sabrina Ionescu, was already generating buzz, but Morant’s presence added an unexpected jolt of excitement, prompting a flurry of reactions from fans across social media.
Morant, currently in the offseason as he rehabs from shoulder surgery, appeared relaxed and in good spirits. Dressed in streetwear and sporting his signature style, he drew attention not just from courtside spectators but also from viewers at home, who quickly took to X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram to share their thoughts.
Many fans praised Morant for supporting women’s basketball, noting how NBA stars showing up to WNBA games helps grow the sport’s visibility. “Love to see Ja Morant courtside supporting the ladies,” one user wrote. Others speculated whether the appearance could hint at a larger trend of NBA-WNBA crossover support.
However, not all reactions were glowing. A few users brought up Morant’s recent suspensions and questioned the timing of his public outings. “Glad to see him out, but hope he’s focused on recovery and staying out of trouble,” a fan tweeted.
Regardless of the varied opinions, Morant’s appearance at the Liberty-Fever game only amplified interest in the WNBA and underscored the growing cultural connection between the two leagues.
