The Memphis Grizzlies star guard Ja Morant spent a hectic day in court on Monday, where he testified about an incident at his home last year. He explained that he punched a teenager in self-defense during a confrontation.

In addition to discussing the altercation, Morant also demonstrated to an attorney how to properly check a ball in a pickup basketball game. This all took place as part of Joshua Holloway’s civil case against Morant.

Holloway alleges that Morant assaulted him while playing basketball at Morant’s residence, but Morant and his legal team argue that the case should be dismissed, asserting that Ja was simply defending himself during the episode.
