The players in the NBA require a great deal of athleticism to hold their ground in the league for a long period of time. Sometimes, the league has to carry out drug tests on players. Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant has already faced numerous drug tests within the halfway mark of the season. Recently, Morant took to his Twitter to call out the league for continued tests. Following his tweet, the NBA world swarmed in the comments with their reactions.
The Grizzlies have had a strong outing this season so far as they are among the table-toppers of the Western Conference table. They are currently the second seed on the points table with an impressive 30-13 record. Morant also leads the Grizzlies pack in scoring 989 points this season, averaging 27.5 points per game so far.

I asked Ja Morant if he heals like an alien. His response:
“A cyborg. I’m just a unique dude, man. I don’t think I’m human. I got to do some lab testing or something to see what is really behind it. The league is doing the same. I have a drug test right after this.”

They can’t take your greatness for what it is, they thinking he has to be doing something illegal. Keep passing those test and showing up on the court making yourself and the Memphis Grizzlies relevant.

Dear @NBA @JaMorant is just really good.. what are you hoping to catch him with? At least be transparent about it..
— PeteOnSports (@PeteMedhurst) January 17, 2023
7 times within half a season. I wonder if any other players have been tested that much and what the average annually for star players. If I was you I would be digging bts bc it may NOT be the @NBA itself but @memgrizz front offices. Makes you wonder tho
