Coming off a crushing road loss against the Indiana Pacers on Thursday, the Memphis Grizzlies went into the second leg of a back-to-back desperate for a win. The Grizzlies traveled to face the Orlando Magic on Friday, and the big cross-conference matchup came down to the wire.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant was the subject of another pro athlete's home invasion, in which items worth more than $1 million were taken. Morant's net worth in 2025 is roughly $50 million. Ja's house was reportedly burglarized in December and was in connection with the same burglary sting that affected NFL's Kansas City Chiefs starting quarterback Patrick Mahomes,

In contrast, last season was a disaster without Morant. The Grizzlies struggled to a 27-55 record—third worst in the West—and missed the playoffs entirely. Morant could only play nine games due to a lengthy suspension and shoulder injury, highlighting just how crucial he is to the team’s success.
