Nba: Morant gives teammate Bane the ‘most improved player’ award

He found it on the kitchen counter at home. Wrapped up. Ja Morant is already a superstar and the award he won as the player who showed the most progress in the last season (most improved player), he didn’t deserve. At least that’s the opinion of the person concerned, who was cheering for teammate Desmond Bane.

So, after it was assigned to him, Morant has seen fit to give it to the runner-up, or Bane. He unveiled it the same All Star of the Grizzlies with a video posted on Instagram. “@ _dbane1 I left your prize in the kitchen, you deserve it,” Morant wrote in the post. The All-Star 2022 also responded to a Bally Sports tweet highlighting his selfless gesture.
