NBA to suspend Ja Morant for 25 games

The NBA governing bodies suspended Memphis Grizzlies Ja Morant for 25 games following the most recent instance of the star brandishing a firearm on social media, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.

Two months after NBA commissioner Adam Silver suspended Morant for eight games for a series of off-court infractions, Morant appeared in another video, holding a handgun from a vehicle last month. The league launched an investigation, which it concluded prior to the NBA Finals. Morant is currently on an indefinite suspension from the Grizzlies.
