NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said the NBA would wait until after the Finals to discipline Ja Morant
Finals news conference on Thursday, commissioner Adam Silver said the league had found “a fair amount of additional information,” and would wait until after the Finals to discipline Morant.
“In terms of the timing, we’ve uncovered a fair amount of additional information since I was asked about the situation,” said Silver. “We probably could have brought it to a head now, but we made the decision — and I believe the players association agrees with us — that it would be unfair to these players and these teams in the middle of this series to announce the results of that investigation.”
Silver also stated that “history of prior acts” and “the individual player’s history” were taken into account when making a decision as to how the league would discipline Morant, and the ruling would be announced “shortly after the conclusion of the Finals.” On May 14, after a video of Morant waving a gun while sitting in the passenger’s seat of a car went viral, the Grizzlies suspended him from all team activities later that day. Prior to the incident, Morant shared an Instagram Live video in early March, where he flashed a gun at the camera from inside a nightclub in Glendale, Colorado.
