Ja Morant Has No Comment On Report That Says Group Targeting Pro Athletes Burglarized His Home

Two-time NBA All-Star Ja Morant is not talking about a published report that says he is the Memphis player whose home was burglarized by the seven men from Chile charged in federal court with orchestrating break-ins at the homes of prominent athletes around the country.

The Daily Memphian reported Thursday that a senior law enforcement official familiar with the investigation confirmed Morant was "Professional Athlete 6" identified in an FBI complaint filed Jan. 30 in Tampa, Florida. A spokeswoman for the Grizzlies declined to comment when asked by The Associated Press if Morant was the player whose home was targeted.

During a pregame availability in Indianapolis, Memphis officials said Morant had no comment about the report. The Grizzlies were to play the Indiana Pacers on Thursday night in their first game since the All-Star break.

The FBI complaint doesn't name the athletes and only lists burglaries already made public involving the Kansas City Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce, Joe Burrow of the Cincinnati Bengals, and players for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the NBA's Grizzlies and Milwaukee Bucks.

According to the complaint, the Grizzlies player's home was burglarized sometime after 4 p.m. on Dec. 19, 2024. The Grizzlies beat the Golden State Warriors 144-93 that night in Memphis. The burglars stole "jewelry, watches and luxury bags valued" at about 1 million, according to the complaint.
