The outrage directed at Grizzlies star Ja Morant reached new heights after his second gun-related incident went viral last month. Just weeks after enduring a series of concerning accusations, no. 12’s reputation was already in the gutter before the playoffs began, and now there is panic that things are even worse than we all thought.
With the NBA now moving to hand Morant a punishment for his latest actions, people around the association have grown fearful that this matter is one of life and death for the young superstar.
“People within the NBA community are not just concerned about Ja Morant playing basketball, they’re concerned whether or not he’s gonna be alive in five years because of the environments he finds himself around and the situations he finds himself confronted by,” said Stephen A. “It’s a serious matter and I think it’s something that the NBA and anybody who knows anything about the kind of things that are going on with him, needs to find themselves concerned about.”

With Ja, the danger extends beyond just his playing career. Many believe that his gun use is tied to gang activity, which brings the danger factor up to a whole different level.
“I’ve called around the league to people I’ve known forever, talking about Ja,” said Skip Bayless. “Because I was so shocked by the IG Live, how brazen it was. And I had several people say to me, ‘Well, timeout, are you sure you guys on TV aren’t giving him a pass here, like you’re not that?’ Like, that’s just who he is, that he is about that life.’ And remember, he’s thrown up the Crips sign, I’ve seen him throw it up two or three times. I’ve probably missed some other times.”
Ja Morant’s Entire Future Is At Stake
Only Morant can say for sure why he chooses to put himself in these situations, but he’s the only one who can pull himself out. No matter what happens with the NBA’s ruling or what the fans have to say, it’s up to Morant to get a grip on this and avoid a catastrophe.
With a significant suspension likely on the way, he will have a lot of time to contemplate his next move, and it better be a good one.
