The coronavirus didn't only rob fans of NBA action, it also stopped one of the favorites to win Rookie of the Year from completing his first season of the year. While Memphis Grizzlies youngster Ja Morant waits for the return of NBA action, his approach to the coronavirus is clear.
The Memphis Grizzlies star made it known to his 481,000 followers on Twitter that he plans to stay at home and spend some quality time with his family. In fact, he asked them for recommendations on which shows he should watch on Netflix.

Fans were quick to flood him with suggestions of shows and films that he should watch. Netflix staples like Narcos and Money Heist have been brought up multiple times by his fans. Recent releases and not-as-popular favorites like Peaky Blinders and The Witcher were also mentioned by fans.
Morant is playing a solid rookie campaign for the Grizzlies this season. Before the season was cut short by the suspension, he's averaging 17.6 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 6.9 assists a night. He's quickly becoming one of the most electrifying players to watch on the court as he mixes his incredible basketball IQ with eye-popping athleticism that jumps right out of the gate.
Since Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell of the Utah Jazz have been confirmed to carry the virus, it's become important that players stay at home and remain healthy. Staying out of crowds is a sure way of keeping players healthy, and Morant is doing well to abide by the rules.
Of course, he's only one person and other NBA players may be loitering around during this time. Hopefully, everyone stays put and spend their time with their families the same way Morant is doing.
