Ja Morant might not be able to play in the In-Season Tournament for the Memphis Grizzlies

Memphis star Ja Morant

The Memphis Grizzlies have been in the news over the past months for reasons other than basketball. Their All-Star point guard, Ja Morant, has been involved in gun scandals, causing him to get suspended for a second time. This followed after he served an eight-game suspension for the same reason.

For the upcoming season, he will miss the first 25 games in coordination with the league for violating the league's conduct. Due to this, Morant won't be able to participate in the NBA's first In-Season Tournament.

​

Commissioner Adam Silver addressed Morant's suspension in a statement:

"Ja Morant’s decision to once again wield a firearm on social media is alarming and disconcerting given his similar conduct in March for which he was already suspended eight game. The potential for other young people to emulate Ja’s conduct is particularly concerning.

"Under these circumstances, we believe a suspension of 25 games is appropriate and makes clear that engaging in reckless and irresponsible behavior with guns will not be tolerated."

Still, there's a chance that he'll be able to play in the team's postseason run, which is far more important than the In-Season Tournament.
