While Ja Morant is looking to be less active on social media, the Memphis Grizzlies star retweeted two important messages following Sunday afternoon's Iowa vs. LSU game. With the basketball world tuned in for Caitlin Clark and Iowa vs. Angel Reese and LSU, amazing showings on both sides were unfortunately overshadowed by much of the discourse that followed the game.

With Reese taunting Clark with the same "you can't see me" gesture that the Iowa star pulled out earlier in the tournament, several people voiced their opinions on the the celebration. Ja Morant, who is intentionally limiting his social media usage, retweeted two very important messages following Sunday's game:

These were the perfect messages for Morant to amplify, as he brought attention to the hypocritical nature of this discourse, while also making sure to amplify the encouragement and support of confident young women. Using his platform to retweet these messages is a way Morant can effectively utilize social media without being as active as he once was.

Morant also quote tweeted a direct quote from Reese herself:

The Memphis Grizzlies suffered a tough loss to the Chicago Bulls on Sunday, but the team is still in position to control their own path to the two-seed. Their struggles on the road remain a concern, but the team is still in a good position entering the final week of the season.

Despite the tough loss on Sunday, Grizzlies star Ja Morant was able to use his massive following to amplify two important messages following the Caitlin Clark vs. Angel Reese discourse.
