NBA star Ja Morant‘s little sister Teniya Morant is ready to prove to the world that she has what it takes to make it in the WNBA!
Teniya’s 2X NBA All-Star brother Ja Morant is a generational star, but he can’t stay out of trouble with the league.
Ja, 25, was recently fined $75,000 for making finger gun gestures during 2 NBA games. Then, on Tuesday night, he appeared to toss a hand “grenade” into the crowd after scoring a 3-pointer.

The problem child tossed another “grenade” into the crowd during the Grizzlies 141-125 loss to the Timberwolves on Thursday night.
His sister, Teniya Morant first showcased her basketball abilities at Houston High School in Germantown. Like her older brother, recruiters didn’t come knocking on her door.
Teniya, 20, didn’t have any offers from colleges to play basketball. But that changed in May 2023, when she announced her commitment to Mississippi Valley State University. MVSU is a historically Black university in the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC).
Teniya’s high school coach, Justin Lewis spoke highly of her basketball skills. “They’re getting a tenacious player that gives it her all on the floor. Somebody that’s going to be vocal. She’s going to work hard,” he tells The Commercial Appeal.
Despite her hard work getting to MVSU, Teniya only played in three games for the Devilettes during the 2024-2025 season. She recently entered the transfer portal to explore her options.
Niya explained that she entered the transfer portal because she needed “a change in environment”.
“My decision to enter the transfer portal is not made lightly, and it comes after much reflection on what is best for my future development as a student-athlete,” she said at the time.
