LAS VEGAS — NBA commissioner Adam Silver called Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant's 25-game suspension 'appropriate' and said that he and the league purposely left the terms of Morant's reinstatement 'ambiguous.'
FILE - Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant warms up before an NBA basketball game against the Houston Rockets, Wednesday, March 22, 2023, in Memphis, Tenn. Morant has been suspended for the first 25 games of the upcoming season for his second known incident of displaying what appeared to be a firearm on social media, the NBA announced Friday, June 16, 2023.
Morant was suspended to begin the 2023-24 season because of multiple gun-related incidents in which he flashed a weapon on social media. The league previously suspended Morant eight games after the first offense in March. “As I understand it, he is continuing to seek help and I know there’s enormous pressure that comes with being an NBA player, particularly a superstar player,” Silver said.
“I’m certainly empathetic to the pressures he faces, but I also feel particularly around guns and the gun violence we're seeing among young people in our society that this is something we have to take incredibly seriously. This is not an attempt to weigh in on what the appropriate gun restrictions should be,” Silver said., such as MVP and All-NBA teams, was not taken into consideration when levying the suspension.
