Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant is coming to Manila this August 2.
This is part of his "Make Them Watch" tour, in partnership with lifestyle brand Nike.
“Basketball is all about work and creativity — putting in that grind but also playing with your own style,” Morant said in a statement.
“I’m excited to pull up and share a piece of my journey with the next generation of hoopers around the world, and I also want to check how basketball is played in their own communities. Getting to learn new cultures through hoops is a unique opportunity, and I’m hyped about that.”
Before coming to Manila, Morant will first tour the United States before making stops in Asia.
Morant will head to China and Tokyo, Japan later this month before going to the Philippines.
