Imminent Suspension for Ja Morant: NBA Readies Heavy Sanction
League insiders, as reported by Hoops Wire, speculate that the new suspension could last at least the first half of the regular season
According to the latest rumors, a long suspension is looming for Grizzlies point guard, Ja Morant. NBA commissioner Adam Silver, while not going into specifics, confirmed he is working with the Players Association to decide on an appropriate penalty.
Morant was seen for the second time in a social media post brandishing a firearm, an action that had already cost him an eight-game suspension in March.
League insiders, as reported by Hoops Wire, speculate that the new suspension could last at least the first half of the regular season. An indication of the seriousness of the penalty is the unusual participation of the Players Association in deciding on the sanction.
Silver expressed hope that this situation can become an opportunity for Morant to change his attitude and create better circumstances for his future.
