While Ja Morant and the Memphis Grizzlies were contending against the Warriors at FedExForum on Dec. 19 night, his personal assets were under attack. The burglars broke into his house and stole over a million dollars worth of valuables.

According to the FBI’s recent complaint, Morant was identified as “Professional Athlete 6” among the cadre of victims whose homes were broken into by a group of Chilean men. These intruders managed to abscond with over $2 million worth of valuables. The specifics of the burglary are as unsettling as they are dramatic.

Fans In Disbelief After Details Emerged On Ja Morant’s House Robbery

However, the incident occurred shortly after the Grizzlies secured a dominant victory against the Warriors. Ever since new details emerged on the internet, social media fans have not kept calm while reacting to them.

“Does Ja Morant having items stolen from his home count as a turnover in the NBA record books?” a fan joked.

“What’s up with all these thefts in these cribs of these athletes,” a fan commented in disbelief.

“Where was that gun when he needed it?” a user quipped.

“Wrong guy to steal from ma boy,” another fan commented.

“The NBA needs to get into the real estate development business for their players now,” another fan suggested.

Reports indicate that the perpetrators, linked to a South American Theft Group, broke into Morant’s residence. They stole various luxury items, including jewelry, watches, and high-end bags. This brazen crime is reportedly part of a larger pattern, as the same gang has been implicated in burglaries targeting other professional athletes, including NFL stars.
