Ja Morant is coming to Manila

Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant will visit Manila on August 2nd.

This visit is part of his "Make Them Watch" tour, which is being conducted in partnership with lifestyle brand Nike.

Morant stated, "Basketball is all about work and creativity — putting in that grind but also playing with your own style," expressing his perspective on the game.

He shared his excitement about the tour, saying, "I’m excited to pull up and share a piece of my journey with the next generation of hoopers around the world, and I also want to check how basketball is played in their own communities. Getting to learn new cultures through hoops is a unique opportunity, and I’m hyped about that."

Before arriving in Manila, Morant will tour the United States first and then make stops in Asia. His Asian itinerary includes visits to China and Tokyo, Japan later this month prior to his trip to the Philippines.
