NBA to allow Ja Morant to travel and train with Grizzlies

Ja Morant will be able to travel with the Memphis Grizzlies, take part in practice session with his teammates and even be in shootarounds throughout his 25-game suspension to start the NBA season, the team confirmed Monday.

The Grizzlies believe Morant will have to leave arenas a few hours before tipoff under the terms that the NBA is allowing him to work under throughout his suspension.

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver announced Morant’s second suspension in June, making clear the guard must stop his “alarming” habit of flashing guns on social media. He published two disturbing videos in the span of one month.

Zach Kleiman, the Grizzlies’ president of basketball operations and general manager, said the approach is great for both Morant and the Grizzlies. The key will be Morant continuing to “stay on track,” according to Kleiman.
