Ja Morant Loses $1 Million in Home Burglary Targeting Athletes

Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant was the victim of a burglary in December, with approximately $1 million worth of jewelry and luxury items stolen from his home while he played against the Golden State Warriors. This incident is part of a larger crime spree targeting professional athletes, including NFL players like Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce, allegedly carried out by a group of Chilean nationals. The Shelby County Sheriff's Office is investigating the case, which has resulted in the arrest of seven suspects linked to the thefts. Morant's name was confirmed in a federal complaint unsealed recently, detailing the connection to a crime syndicate. Despite the ongoing investigation, Grizzlies GM Zach Kleiman has dismissed rumors of trading Morant, emphasizing the team's commitment to him. As the investigation continues, authorities are working to identify and apprehend all responsible parties.
