Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant was suspended for eight games without pay after meeting with NBA commissioner Adam Silver in New York on Wednesday.
Before leaving the Grizzlies, Morant was on track to be a First-Team All-NBA guard, averaging 27.1 points and 8.2 assists a game. Despite Memphis holding onto its spot in the Western Conference standings, Morant's case for First-Team All-NBA has lessened. He will miss a total of 14 games before playing again in 2023.
The guards Morant is competing against for that First-Team have all been plagued by injury -- Luka Doncic,Portland's Damien Lillard and Cleveland's Donovan Mitchell could get the two top spots at the end of the NBA season, sheerly by being the most healthy -- and productive -- guards in the league. Lillard and Mitchell have started and played in every game for their team and average more than 32 and 27 points, respectively on the season.
