As Ja Morant’s 25-game suspension nears its end, the Memphis Grizzlies’ star point guard opened up about his personal struggles, admitting, “I’ve made a lot of mistakes, some that aren’t even public, with my family.”
In his first media address since the suspension, Morant took full responsibility for the team’s struggles, acknowledging, “I take full responsibility for that, even though I’m not out on the floor. My decisions put them in that position.”
Morant’s suspension stemmed from an Instagram Live video where he displayed a gun at a Colorado nightclub. The incident led to an NBA investigation, and Morant entered a counseling program.
He received an eight-game suspension without pay, covering the games he had already missed. On May 14, he faced another suspension for a similar incident, leading to his 25-game suspension, ending soon.
