Adam Silver on Ja Morant

Seems like the nba is going to wait to announce their decision on Ja Morant until after the finals have been played.

Read on Twitter

Anyone have a clue what his “punishment” would be?
Suspension and/or fine?

Hopefully rehab.

Doesnt sound like it will be positive news for Morant.

Along with a lengthy suspension and not just "rehab / I got help", but someone to monitor that he's actually...in rehab lol.

Morant is an idiot but this is really starting to get way overblown, borderlining on weird

I think Arenas got 50 games. I'd expect something similar, though thats obviously a pretty lazy guess.

With the first pick in the 2024 NBA draft the Memphis Grizzlies select...

Ja is probably doing a Chris Brown, trying to build-up gang ties' after he's become rich and famous.

Guessing he may have brought a gun onto nba premises and will get a full season just based on Silvers comments there lol

If you see any betting app doing anything under a full season, take the over and bet big.

I think this suspension is going to make the Gilbert suspension look like childs play.

"please be banned, please be banned, please be banned"...at minimum, a long suspension maybe not full season but 50 games would be my minimum

Queuing stupid "this isnt against the law / mua righhtttss 2AAAA" fight that completely mixes up state + federal law with private companies' code of conduct rules... then completely derails the thread.

Yikes. This means it’s going to be lengthy. It was only a small suspension they would’ve just announced it.

I also wonder what the extra information is. Maybe it relates back to the Pacers incident??

Even "pro-gun" people would acknowledge he was exhibiting terrible gun safety swinging around a gun in a car to a song. NBA players are public figures in a league that tries to attract young impressionable fans. I doubt anyone here first became an NBA fan as an adult.

So they have certain public image responsibilities to uphold.

My guess is the Grizz organization knew further information this whole time going back over a year that they withheld and the league pressed them super hard with potential big consequences and they shared what they knew and it likely wasn't good at all. Some combination of knowing with proof that guns were on NBA premises, that Ja has a serious alcohol problem, that he's potentially involved in actual criminal activity off court.

I get it, not trying to blanket statement, but there WILL be people in this thread to defend his 2A rights and completely miss the point when it comes to the understanding that the NBA has a code of conduct that has rules against the actions he did, even if they weren't illegal in state he did it in.

It's happened with every Ja Gun thread and this will be no different.

My best guess: 20/25 games, and a "list of things to do" like the Joe Tsai/Kyrie situation.
