Ja Morant v Joshua Holloway
April 2025 (Ruling issued Monday)
A judge has dismissed a civil lawsuit filed by Joshua Holloway, who accused Ja Morant of assault during a 2022 pickup game, ruling Morant acted in self-defense.
The court found Holloway’s testimony not credible and upheld Morant’s civil immunity under Tennessee’s “stand your ground” law. Witnesses, including Mike Miller, confirmed Holloway initiated the incident by hitting Morant with the ball.
