Niya Morant, the younger sister of Memphis Grizzlies All-Star Ja Morant, is carving her own path in basketball. Niya decided to display the hard work she’s been doing toward becoming a better basketball player through a reel that she posted on her Instagram on Tuesday.
The reel started with a blooper, showing Niya coming up short for a dunk. Afterward is showed her running drills, making shots and doing workouts that will improve her basketball skills.
The post received a reaction from Niya’s two-time NBA All-Star brother. Although Ja Morant did not type out any words, he commented with a blue heart emoji.
However, she has seen limited minutes in her first season, having only suited up for three games and a grand total of 12 minutes. The first time she was in action was on Nov. 6 against Lipscomb, playing a career-high seven minutes.
She suited up once again on Nov. 13, coming off the bench for two minutes against Arkansas State. The last time she was on the court was on Jan. 2 against Alabama A&M (three minutes).
Ja Morant’s sister has also yet to make a field goal. She attempted one shot against Lipscomb and one more against Alabama A&M but she did not make either attempt. She had zero attempts against Arkansas State.
