Morant, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2019 NBA draft, eclipsed Zion Williamson to win the Rookie of the Year award last season. Williamson spent most of his rookie campaign out with a knee injury, which allowed Morant to seize the spotlight. He averaged 17.8 points and 7.3 assists while nearly leading the Grizzlies to a playoff berth.

The docuseries will delve into Morant's thoughts as the NBA postponed its season amid the COVID-19 comeback and the eventual Orlando restart.
