KK Dixon is Ja Morant’s girl friend. Both Murray State and his girlfriend post pictures of each other on Instagram.

Dixon adores Morant and frequently uses her Instagram account to support him. “Happy Valentine’s Day to my beautiful queen!” was Morant’s Valentine’s Day Instagram post. You have my gratitude and blessing, girl. I cherish you?

“How can you succeed both on and off the court?”

1. Dixon frequently posts supportive messages on social media about Morant.

Dixon recently attended the Murray State vs. Marquette Golden Eagles basketball game, sharing glimpses of the experience on her Instagram story. Her initial post featured a video of her boarding a plane at 5 a.m., accompanied by the caption “It’s too early for this.”

A subsequent Instagram story showcased Dixon at the game, accompanied by the enthusiastic comment “Let’s go 12!” It’s evident from her Instagram that Dixon is a fervent supporter of her boyfriend’s basketball career. In a post from February, she expresses admiration for him, asking, “Why is he so handsome? lol…. GOODLUCK TODAY 12 ? Turn it up!”

While Dixon appears to have an athletic background, featuring photos of herself playing volleyball with a team, it remains unclear whether she is part of a high school or college team.

The relationship between Dixon and Morant dates back to at least 2018, with Morant posting the first picture of Dixon on Valentine’s Day. However, Dixon reciprocated by sharing a picture of her boyfriend in December.

Despite Morant’s relatively modest Instagram activity, he has garnered a substantial following of over 300,000 fans. The interest in Morant’s personal life is fueled by his emerging status as a promising basketball player. Notably, FiveThirtyEight suggests that Morant could be the first college basketball player in the 21st century to be selected in the top five of the NBA draft from a school with fewer than 100 appearances in the NCAA tournament.

Morant’s journey to prominence is underscored by his overlooked status as a high school prospect. According to The Post and Courier, he received scholarship offers only from South Carolina State and Maryland Eastern Shore, with Murray State extending an offer after a coach chanced upon his talent.

As of the start of March Madness, Dixon, Morant’s girlfriend, has seen a significant increase in her Instagram followers. The count has risen from just under 12,000 to an impressive 15,000, a surge attributed to Morant’s standout performances in several games during the competition.

Morant’s own following has experienced substantial growth as well. At the beginning of March Madness, he had approximately 300,000 followers. However, by the time Murray State faced FSU on Saturday, his follower count had surpassed 400,000. The dynamic performances and victories by Morant have undoubtedly contributed to this spike in popularity.

In an interview with The New York Times, Morant expressed that this year’s playoffs feel different from his previous experiences. While last year brought a mix of happiness and nervousness, this year he feels much more at ease, indicating his growing confidence on the big stage.

Morant’s father, Tee Morant, who played basketball overseas in the past, has been an integral part of his son’s basketball journey. Tee is highly optimistic about his son’s future and, when asked about the NBA draft, confidently stated that Morant should be the first overall pick. According to Tee, Morant possesses an unparalleled versatility on the court, likening him to a “Swiss army knife.”

As of now, according to the ESPN draft list, Morant is ranked third overall in the draft, following Duke players Zion Williamson and RJ Barrett. Morant holds the position as the number one point guard, solidifying his status as a top prospect. Vanderbilt’s Darius Garland is listed as the fourth overall player and the second-ranked point guard.
