Ja Morant gave an awesome gift to a young fan who had her autographed basketball stolen from her

Good on Ja, man. What a moment.

Ja Morant is fierce on the court — there’s no doubt about it. Just ask Jakob Poeltl.

But he seems to still have a pretty caring side, too. Morant set out on the internet looking to make things right with a young fan who had a basketball autographed by multiple players over the years stolen from her.

The fan, Ellie Hughes, is an 11-year-old Grizzlies fan. She’d been attending home games with her grandfather for years. When she attends the games, she’d normally bring her basketball with her.

Earlier this week, though, while trying to get Ja Morant’s attention, two adults swiped her ball, according to a Facebook post from her mother. After seeing this story on the local news, Morant asked if anyone knew the family’s information via Twitter in an effort to, presumably, reach out to them.

Morant was finally able to get a hold of them. And when he did, he gave Ellie a gift that she’ll absolutely never forget.

Morant gave her his game-worn jersey and shoes from the Grizzlies’ matchup against the Spurs.

Ellie might have lost her basketball, but it’s got to be pretty awesome to get these gifts from Morant in return. This is a memory that will stay with her forever.

Good on Ja for making it happen.
