NBA commissioner Adam Silver plans to meet with Grizzlies star Ja Morant in person this week as the suspended player’s return grows near.
Morant has been serving a 25-game suspension to start the 2023–24 NBA season after the Memphis star was seen holding a gun on an Instagram Live video for the second time this year. He originally served an eight-game suspension for the first video.
In order to return to play, Morant continues to work through a program with the NBA that “directly addresses the circumstances that led him to repeat this destructive behavior,” the NBA’s statement read in June.
