Grizzlies reporter Kelcey Wright Johnson is a former college basketball star
NBA fans have been quick to praise Ja Morant – for not being distracted by a reporter’s daring outfit.

Johnson spoke to Morant following his impressive 26-point performance in a win over the San Antonio Spurs in his first game of 2024.
And Kelcey stole hearts across the basketball world after wowing in a figure-hugging creme outfit, pairing the look with snake-skin boots.
Footage of her exchange with the NBA star went viral as Morant was seen appearing to avoid Johnson’s gaze throughout and instead focused on daughter Kaari.
“That is the will of a champion,” one fan joked.
A former college basketball star for Texas A&M University, she began her broadcast career covering the World University Games.
The 6-foot-3 broadcaster was the first ever on-camera reporter for DAZN Canada.
Johnson boasts more than 110,000 followers on Instagram and regularly shares updates from her glamourous travels around the world.
She recently hit the beach in Aruba, feeding flamingos as she posed in a jaw-dropping pink swimsuit.
One fan responded to the snaps, “Could you get any more fabulous?”
Another said, “She did it again.”
Since returning from a 25-game suspension last month, Morant has let his basketball do the talking.
He has played in nine games so far this season, averaging 25.1 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 8.1 assists per contest.
Despite Morant missing with an arm injury, the Grizzlies beat the Phoenix Suns 121-115 on Sunday night.
They are now 13-23 on the NBA season and sit 13th in the Western Conference.
