Controversy has been the biggest descriptor of Ja Morant's career. The high-flying alum out of Murray State has proven why the Memphis Grizzlies made the right pick during the 2019 NBA Draft. In fact, he may have been solidified himself as a better player than Zion Williamson. His improvement on the court has been nothing short of outstanding but has this translated into the money that he's getting paid?
Ja Morant is now clearly one of the greatest Grizzlies of all-time despite having just played half a decade for the franchise. He has led the team out of a slump in the late 2010s. Moreover, fans of the franchise have not been this hyped about their team since Marc Gasol and Pau Gasol were playing for them. The highlights that he brings in every night also makes every NBA fan rise out of their seats in amazement.
This is why the Grizzlies have decided to keep him even if he had issues with flashing a gun on Instagram live. In fact, his contract with the team will even see him earn upwards of $37 million a year until the 2027 season. Moreover, he also has deals with Nike and Powerade to further reinforce his financial status.
Overall, Morant has built up an insanely impressive $50 million net worth in just five years of playing with the Grizzlies. What makes this more jaw-dropping is that he has earned the same amount of cash as Devin Booker despite having suffered season-ending injuries and a lengthy suspension. If he keeps up his nice demeanor, Morant will surely have more than $100 million as a net worth in no time.
