This is a big decision knowing how great this man is on the court and how important he’s been for the Grizzlies’ success this season, posting 27.1 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 8.2 assists in 53 games.
Still, the Grizzlies know his behavior has been wrong in the past couple of days and that Instagram Live was the final straw for them. The organization decided to suspend Ja, and fans flooded social media with reactions to it.

It’s not a secret that Ja has earned a lot of criticism thanks to some of his behaviors, and many fans are happy to see the team is actually taking action to prevent him from doing something worse.
Ja Morant Is Under Fire Right Now
Morant hasn’t been the best role model the NBA can wish for, as some people close to him starred in a controversial moment with Indiana Pacers staffers, then he was accused of hitting a 17-year-old team repeatedly in the head, and now this.
The NBA has an image they want to give to the world, and Ja’s antics are the complete opposite of that. This player entered the league with high expectations around, and he’s tried to live it up to them, but his off-court behavior is something that he needs to fix.
Now, the Grizzlies are suspending him for two games, and the league is already investigating the situation with the gun. This doesn’t look good for Ja, and he could face big penalties if the league considers he needs to receive them. He could lose his career over these decisions, and they need to act quickly on it.
