Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant has filed a countersuit against Joshua Holloway, according to Drew Hill of the Daily Memphian.

Morant is alleging he could've suffered a career-ending injury when Holloway threw a basketball at his face during a pickup game. His representatives are also alleging the teenager "lied to the police about Morant brandishing a weapon and that the key details of the once-sealed case were leaked to the media in violation of a court order," per Hill.

The Washington Post's Molly Hensley-Clancy first reported on March 1 that Holloway filed a police report about an incident at Morant's home last July. He said Morant and a friend punched him during a pickup game, with Morant telling police he acted in self-defense because Holloway had thrown the ball at his head.

Holloway also alleged that after he left Morant's home, the two-time All-Star came outside and had a gun visible in his waistband.

Hensley-Clancy and Washington Post colleague Gus Garcia-Roberts provided more detail in a follow-up story focusing on both the incident and the response of police and prosecutors.

Holloway told the reporters Morant grew angry when the teenager checked the ball and hit the star guard in the face.
