After waiting nearly two months while the NBA conducted its investigation, the league announced a 25-game suspension Friday for Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant to start the 2023-24 season.
In March, Morant, 23, was suspended for eight games after an Instagram Live video showed him displaying a firearm in a Denver-area nightclub. In the days after, Morant spent time at a counseling facility in Florida. Two months later, the two-time All-Star was filmed posing with a firearm in a car. The Grizzlies suspended Morant from team activities then, and he has remained so since.
