{2} Breaking News Over A 24 Hour Period
Ja Morant, the outstanding point guard on the Memphis Grizzles team has been suspended from 25 total games for the season. It was stated that he will be suspended during this time "without" pay. This shocking news all started on social media where he was seen brandishing a weapon in a video on Instagram. Since this incident had happen once before when he was seen with a handgun while being intoxicated at a club, and was only suspended for 8 games, the league decided to suspended him from 25 games for the opening season.
For some people this suspension was very unnecessary and for others it was not. Many people tweeted things such as, a guy showing his genitals to a female member continuously and only getting suspended for four games, but Ja shows a weapon, which many people have, and he gets half of a season on the bench.
In the NBA league, there is a total of 65 games you have to play in to be eligible. Due to Ja being suspended from 25 games, he will lose 7.6 million dollars in salary for those games.
When Ja Morant could not officially have practice with the team, he was having private practices to stay in shape and get ready for his future games. Now over a period of time, they have allowed Morant to practice and travel with the team again. He will return from his NBA suspension on December 19, 2023 against the New Orleans Pelicans.
