Ja Morant has been the talk of the NBA world since flashing a gun in a nightclub in Denver, which has led to the Grizzlies star being suspended for two games.
Morant’s statement after his suspension said that he will work on learning better methods to handle the stress that caused this situation. The same was mocked by Marlon Wayans on The Today Show.
“I’m sorry, but that n***a don’t look stressed at all. Look at all that stress on his face, I’ve never seen somebody that stressed. How’s that even an explanation? ‘I pulled a gun out because I was stressed.’ Is that like an emotional support gun? Who grabs a gun when they’re stressed? N***a, you never heard of chamomile?”
Wayans’ commentary on Morant could be considered harsh, especially if Morant is actually dealing with stress issues that are causing him to act out. However, using the same to justify his actions instead of taking accountability is not a good look for Morant, who has an indefinite timetable for returning after his suspension is over.
Will The Grizzlies Be Affected On The Court?
The Memphis Grizzlies are looking to lock up the No. 2 seed in the West and make a title push this season. They can’t really compete in the playoffs without their All-Star point guard. Even if the Grizzlies have a strong record when Morant is out in the regular season, they need his versatility and explosive athleticism to disrupt defenses in the postseason. Their current record is 38 wins and 25 losses.
Fans of the franchise will hope Morant returns soon enough to be a factor in the playoffs. Rushing the player back may cause more long-term harm, especially if he hasn’t gotten a chance to deal fully with the consequences of his actions. He is averaging 27.1 points, 8.2 assists, and 6.0 rebounds this season.
