Morant Excels on the Court

Ja Morant, NBA Point Guard and Hyperice Athlete, uses Hyperice technology to improve performance and longevity so that he can stay prepped and ready for game time.

A leader on and off the court, Morant has used Hyperice since his days at Murray State University keeping his overall body healthy and bouncing back after injury.

“As an athlete, proper warm up and recovery are a part of my daily routine. I’m thrilled to officially join Hyperice and teach my fellow players, fans, and future generations about the same technology that I use daily to reach my greatest potential” said Morant.

The Hypervolt Plus is a favorite among NBA players, who have real time access to the world’s quietest hand-held percussive massager courtside. To learn more and explore products, visit hyperice.com.

Shoutout: Yesterday, we asked subscribers to predict the winner of Rays-Royals, the score, and which player would hit the first home run. Tampa won 14-7, with the Rays’ Brandon Lowe belting the first homer.

No one predicted Lowe, but subscriber Scott Kowalczyk (@kow21kow21) had the Rays winning and was closest to the final score. Way to go, Scott!
