"Ja is the real loser of this Finals"- NBA fans are going nuts after a meme claiming Ja Morant is suspended 50 games goes viral

Ja Morant's absence from basketball since the first round of the playoffs hasn't stopped him from making headlines. A recent Instagram Live video depicted Morant with a firearm, leading to him awaiting punishment from the NBA.

In a lighthearted manner, Barstool Sports released a tweet stating that Morant would be suspended for 50 games next season, just after the Denver Nuggets became NBA champions.

“Congrats to the Denver Nuggets….and JA MORANT YOURE SUSPENDED FOR 50 GAMES.” https://t.co/G04T5TE5jD

While the tweet was meant as satire, it is true that Morant can anticipate some form of suspension from the league. As the season has concluded and a champion has been crowned, Morant's punishment will likely be made public in the near future.

One NBA fan decided to share his own thoughts on the NBA Finals, commenting how Morant was the real loser - rather than the Miami Heat, who lost in five games.

@barstoolsports Ja is the real loser of this finals

@barstoolsports Waiting game for Ja is more exciting than the finals

Ja Morant is absolutely shaking right now twitter.com/barstoolsports…

This exactly what I’m waiting for lmao 😂💀 twitter.com/barstoolsports…

This isn't the first time Morant has caused a stir this year. During the regular season, Morant had multiple off-court issues, which ultimately led to him taking some time away from the game. It would appear that Morant hasn't learned his lesson and is now likely to miss a part of the 2023-24 NBA season.

Lil Wayne defends Ja Morant

During a recent appearance on the All The Smoke Podcast, Hip-Hop star Lil Wayne discussed Ja Morant's current issues.

“Y’all know that boy? Do y’all know that boy? Cause I don’t! I know him from dunkin' and jumpin'. I only started knowing him and started paying attention to him in his last year in college.

"He come from a town of like 3K people. Like, what? I gave him $200 million. I just said from a town of 3K people. You expect him to be responsible?

When on the court, Morant is one of the best young guards in the NBA. However, with off-court issues now beginning to pile up, there is a genuine concern that he could ruin his career before it even begins.

Any suspension Morant receives from the league should serve as a wake-up call, allowing him to reflect on his career. He will hope to return next season, putting his controversies behind him and continuing his path to superstardom for all the right reasons.

After all, Morant ended last season with impressive averages of 26.2 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 8.1 assists per game while shooting 46.6% from the field, including 30.7% from deep. If Ja Morant can build on this level of production while eliminating his off-court controversies, he has the potential to become an All-NBA guard and one of the NBA's premier players.
