[Saba Sports News] Following Ja Morant’s separation from his long-term agent Jim Tanner, there’s a positive outlook that Morant is steering his career towards mending his image. Gilbert Arenas views this as a pivotal move for Morant, indicating a readiness to embrace change after tumultuous times with the Memphis Grizzlies. “He’s revamping his circle with wiser influences aimed at advancing his career,” Arenas commented on the Nightcap show. He noted Morant’s low profile and focus on health as promising signs of maturity.
Morant aims to recover from controversies, including displaying a firearm on social media and engaging in a physical altercation, which led to league discipline and missing a significant part of the season. Critics argue Morant’s entourage contributed to his missteps, though it’s uncertain if this included his agent.
With the agent gone, Morant has the chance to redefine his narrative.
The path forward for Morant remains to be seen, but it’s evident he seeks to redefine his public persona and move past his contentious history. By altering his inner circle and projecting a new image, Morant hopes to avoid further controversies and prove he has grown from his previous errors.
