Rodon’s Surreal No-Hitter

Morant Improves Performance and Longevity

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 technology 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 rely on all Hyperice technology to make sure I can move and play my best,” said Morant. “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.”

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.
