With the NBA Draft just weeks away, Panini has signed projected No. 2 overall pick Ja Morant to an exclusive autograph trading-card and memorabilia deal. Morant’s first licensed trading cards will be issued digitally on June 20, the night of the Draft. Memorabilia, including basketballs, jerseys, and prints, will be available online shortly thereafter. The former Murray State standout will be featured in all of Panini’s '19-20 Collegiate and NBA-licensed trading cards, beginning in August. Morant also will appear on Panini packaging and take part in a number of marketing initiatives for the company. Morant also recently signed an endorsement deal with Nike.
